240 visa free transit - will I qualify?
Hello! I will be flying from Malaysia with US passport to Beijing (PEK) then to Xian (XIY) then to Seoul, South Korea. Can I fly into Beijing, PEK then fly out of Xian, XIY? Does it have to have to be the same port of entry into and out of China? We are planning to take the high speed train from Beijing to Xian. Is this a better option than flying in early May? Will there be a place to put our carry-on luggage? Also, we can still use cash in Xian? Lastly, my traveling companion will be using a Malaysian passport. There will be nothing additional that she needs to do, correct? Just go through immigration and that’s it? Thank you so much for your help!

Under the most recent policy, U.S. passport holders may enter through Beijing and depart via Xi'an without requiring identical entry/exit points. Traveling by high-speed rail remains a practical choice with dedicated luggage storage facilities onboard. While cash transactions are still accepted in Xi'an, mobile payment methods are strongly advised. Your Malaysian travel companion is eligible for 30-day visa-free entry using only her passport - no supplementary application procedures are required.
