Transiting through Shanghai, China? It's definitely not difficult

This time, I traveled using China Eastern Airlines. I had about an 8-hour layover in Shanghai, so I decided to go into the city. Since China became visa-free, many people are traveling to China, especially to Shanghai. At first, I thought entering China would be difficult, but it was easier than I expected! A day trip to Shanghai is really great too, haha. ✔️You can enter China without a visa, but they ask several questions upon entry. How long will you stay? Do you have accommodation? Where are you going? Is it okay even though the time is short? It's best to think about your answers in advance. ✔️It's good to fill out the entry card beforehand. You can also do it online (QR code generated). ✔️I registered my card on Alipay in advance, so I could make all payments. You can even take the subway, so there's no need to buy a separate subway ticket. ✔️Google Maps doesn't work in most places, so prepare the Gaode Map app! ✔️When entering the subway and airport, they check your luggage even when going inside from outside, so time is tight. I don't recommend going out if your layover is less than 7 hours..🥲 📍Shanghai, China
