I heard that the Chinese immigration officers won't let you in if you don't have a certain amount of money on you ( I've heard that this is some kinda "unwritten rule" and Beijing is pretty strickt about it). I'm on a tight bugdet and plan to have less than $500usd on me for a 4-5 days visit to china, is that gonna be a problem? thanks Sal

But u shd have a return plane ticket or have prove of yr return journey back to yr home country.

Hi,

I have been to China 4 times and then officers who were at the point of entry have never asked me how much money I had on me when I entered the country. I have stayed as long as 3 weeks and if I needed money I went to a citibank atm. Betweenus21 is right make sure you have your return ticket boarding pass. $500 USD should be enough and you should not have a problem. I hope you enjoy your trip.
