Can we stay 3 days without a Visa? We are on a cruise to Hong Kong and would like to visit Shanghai. Is there a first class or sleeper? How much is round trip?
We are US citizens. If we left on 17th would we have to return on 19 or 20?
We are a little flexible on dates. Could leave 17, 18, or 19.
Thank you
