With effect from 1 July 2008 until after the end of Olympic there will be a new visa requirement even if you go to PRC less than 15 days.
To apply for visa you will need:
(1) a return air ticket
(2) a hotel reservation confirmationfor the period
Any one have any way to overcome condition 2 as it is troublesome to book a hotel in advance if you are travelling to a few cities
