Hi, I am an Australian passport holder and planning to travel to Hongkong in July for a short visit, about 4 weeks. During this 4 weeks, i would also like to visit China, Guangzhou, which is next to Hongkong. I know that Hongkong allows 3 month of stay for Australians without visa. Do i need to apply for visa to visit to go to Guangzhou from Hongkong? Thanks.

 Answered by Mr. Leonardo
You do need a Chinese L visa for your visit to Guangzhou, but it can be applied from the visa office of PRC in HK.
