We are flying into Hong Kong and then going to the following cities (in the order they are listed): Guangzhou Guilin Yangshuo Xi’an Luoyang Dengfeng Zhengzhou Beijing A single entry visa is all we need, correct? With this itinerary, is there any reason for us to get a double entry visa? Thanks for your help!

Yes. I am assuming you have a China Visa that is valid for a single 30 day stay in PR of China??

When you arrive through the entry portal of Guangzhou, your Visa will be stamped “Entered“, and the clock will start ticking. You can then travel to as many cities as you wish within the borders of PR China, within the 30 day period.
Please be cautioned to note the expiration date of your Visa and ensure you do not exceed the time provision.

Then upon your exit from PR China, I presume at the immigration portal at Beijing, your Visa will again be stamped “Departed” and the clock will stop, and that Visa will have expired and no longer be valid. Only, if your itinerary included a departure from the national border of PR China, through an immigration check point, and then another reentry through an immigration check point, where your Visa is required to be stamped, would you need the multiple entry Visa.
