China citizens hold passports. How many countries can I go to?

China citizens with passports can travel to most countries in the world, but they need visas. Only a few countries allow visa-free entry. (The number of visa-free or visa-on-arrival countries confirmed by the China government has reached 68.)

According to Article 9 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Exit and Entry Administration, China citizens shall apply for passports or other travel documents when leaving or entering the country. China citizens who want to go to other countries or regions also need to obtain visas or other entry permits. However, unless the China government has signed visa exemption agreements with other governments or the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide otherwise.
