Studying abroad in mainland China with a Hong Kong Passport, visa needed?
I am a student studying at UCSD. This summer, I plan to study abroad in Beijing, China for about 6 weeks during the summer. I have a Hong Kong Passport and a Chinese "travel document" (in chinese: æ—…è¡Œè¯). These documents, on a regular basis, allow me to enter and travel through China freely. However, this is my first time studying in a university in China, and I am not sure if I need to apply for a Chinese student visa for my Hong Kong passport. My question in a nutshell: Do I need apply for a separate Chinese study visa given my current HK passport and Chinese travel documents?
