Hello, I am a New Zealander currently living in Europe. I am coming back to NZ in January, and I plan to stop over in Hong Kong and travel to China with a Chinese friend. Do I need a visa to exit the airport in Hong Kong, and can I apply for a Chinese visa in Hong Kong? How much does it cost exactly? Thanks.
