SELLER INFORMATION

Visa requirements

China has included Australia in its visa waiver program. If you hold an ordinary Australian passport, you may be able to enter China without a visa for no more than 30 days for business, tourism, visiting family and friends or transit. Your eligibility to enter China will be assessed by Chinese authorities at the border. We are aware of cases of Australian citizens being denied entry.

Australians intending to travel to China should contact the nearest
Chinese embassy/consulate to confirm visa eligibility and other travel requirements. If you need a full visa, you must get this before you travel. See the Embassy of the People's Republic of China for eligibility requirements and visa types.

Transfers

Airport transfers are not included in the participation fee. Please contact the hotel directly should you require airport to hotel transfers to be arranged. Please note, taxis are readily available at the airport.
