A cautious planning guide for China visa-free transit routes, with reminders to verify eligibility against official immigration guidance before booking.
Visa-free transit can make some China routes easier, but it is an immigration rule, not a tour feature. Eligibility depends on nationality, route, ports, onward travel, and current official policy.

China's National Immigration Administration has published a 240-hour visa-free transit policy for eligible travelers at approved ports. Because rules change, travelers should verify their case against official sources before booking.
Transit eligibility normally depends on true transit through China to a third country or region. A simple round trip to and from the same country may not qualify.
East Marvel can design the itinerary around the traveler's stated entry plan, but final eligibility should be confirmed with the airline and official immigration guidance.
Keep flight confirmations, hotel details, cruise details, and onward travel documents consistent with the declared route.
