You can freely plan your travel to open areas in China. But when planning a trip, special attention should be paid to the following two types of restrictions, which are mainly based on special regions and circumstances:
1. Specific area/situation description
🛂 Non-open areas
To travel to certain border areas, military zones, nature reserves, etc., it is necessary to apply for a "Border Management Zone Pass" from the public security organs in advance.
⚠️ Special circumstances such as epidemics
⛰️ Ecological protection area
🏔️ Undeveloped area
2. Restrictions based on specific nationality or background (excluding travel bans)
These restrictions are not aimed at ordinary tourists, but are based on considerations of national security and international obligations:
UN sanctions-related restrictions: According to UN Security Council resolutions, China will impose legal controls on travel to or from specific countries.
Restrictions based on the principle of reciprocity: China may have reciprocal diplomatic or visa restrictions with certain countries.
