| Flying to Hong Kong through China Question
So I'm planning on going to Hong Kong for a week. My question is would I need a Visa if i'm flying through Shanghai? I'm a Canadian citizen and traveling as a tourist. I'm posting here since this section gets a lot of traffic and I kinda need to know soon.
Thanks in advance.

I might have not stated my question clearly enough.
I am a Canadian citizen and I am planning on flying to Hong Kong. I am required to transfer from one plane to another in Shanghai. Would I need to apply for a Visa (of any sort) given my situation?

No, you don't need a VISA if you are transferring plane to plane in Shanghai to your final destination HK

You're going through the Shanghai airport in transit, so no you shouldn't need a visa.

But you sure you don't want to stop by Shanghai for the Expo and/or food?

yah u dont need to go through customs while transfering flights in Shanghai... unlike places like Germany/Italy.. they made me go out and in again. it was so stupid.
but i suggest you to get a Visa anyway. i think u should see Shenzhen while u're in Hong Kong.

^he's there for a week, HK has more than a week's stuff to offer.
and No, you don't need a visa for the transfer, althought HK technically requires you to have a return flight for your 90 auto HK travel visa to work.

And ignore "ferrariEnzo" he is wrong. Everyone needs a visa to get into China, even if it's just for a day. If you don't leave the airport though, you won't need one.

No you do not need a visa if you're just connecting flights.
One time I had to layover for a night in Shanghai from HK. We were shuttled to a hotel about 15mins away from the Shanghai airport. Still didn't require a visa...but when we checked into the hotel, the front desk needed to hang onto our passports until the next day when we checked out. Which I found sort of odd, but again....we were in China.

And another question,
if i'm transferring in Beijing, will I need to pick up my bags or will they be taken to the next plane? I know in some instances you need to collect your baggage when connecting.

Anyone have any experiences? | I used to fly Air China all the time when I flew directly to Beijing, but lately I've been going to HK so I've been flying Cathay Pacific directly.
Air China now is much better than a few years ago, they have newer planes now (for most Van-Beijing). Only downside is the food.. they're not great. Actually, it's terrible. Entertainment system is catching up too, but still not as updated as Cathay Pacific.
But I guess you're getting what you paid for at the cheaper price.
