During the summer I plan to travel to Vietnam. However, next to the section marked 'Entries' on my 'Z' visa, there is a 1. As I obtained the visa in Hong Kong, does this mean that I am unable to leave the mainland, as I have already used up my one entry? Will my current 'Z' visa be void if I leave China, go to Vietnam, and try to re-enter? I could really do with help on this. Thanks, Eric
