China said it was expanding its visa-free transit policy, allowing eligible foreign travelers to stay in parts of the country as long as 10 days as officials try to attract more overseas visitors.
Since May 1, 2018, citizens from 59 countries are visa exempted to travel to Hainan Island (Haikou, Sanya…) from any open ports in Hainan, for no more than 30 days. Meanwhile, they must report current travel information (including passport, round-trip tickets, hotel reservation and itinerary in Hainan) to a local travel agency 48 hours before arrival.
59 Hainan Visa-free Countries:
Europe (40 Countries): Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovak, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom;

Hainan isn’t really mainland, is it?
it’s not, but still travel to China :)
Yea but thats only to Hainan, which is the farthest part of china from Russia lol, it’s around the distance from Mexico to Canada.
True, just pointing out that it does exist. Northern provinces certainly be easier to get to from Russia. :)
They do have a 10 day transit visa free but need proof of departure afterwards, same for México 😞 i doublechecked.
Hopefully that expands at some point.
