China 240-Hour Transit Route Ideas

Choose a city and a trip length for a day-by-day sightseeing idea. The itinerary does not establish that your passport, ports, onward journey or travel area qualify.

The National Immigration Administration's August 20, 2026 guidance lists 57 eligible nationalities, 65 designated ports and permitted areas in 24 regions. This tool's stored 57-country transit and 50-country unilateral lists were reviewed September 27, 2026. Its October 17, 2026 maintenance horizon is a content-review date, not an official policy expiry. Beyond that horizon, treat the tool's status as unknown until reviewed.
