Help with Chinese Visas!

[Susanne123]

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I'm looking for some advice.  I'm going to China in October and staying in Beijing for three nights then heading to Tanjin for a 12 night cruise.  I won't be in China longer than 74 hours but I'm not sure what visa I need?  I'm flying from the UK to Beijing then will leave China on the cruise ship.  I won't be visiting any other ports in China (other than Hong Kong which I know I don't need a visa for)

any advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks

If you are staying in Beijing less than 144 hr there is a similar regulation as in Shanghai and you can enjoy a visa exemption.
Some conditions apply. More infos here:

If you are looking for a tour company I  HIGHLY recommend Chinahighlights.com, those are the ones from the first link above.
