Travelling to China
score:7
If you fly to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guilin, Shenyang, Dalian, or Xian and fly out of the same airport (with an onward ticket that you must show when you land), you are allowed a 72-hour visa-free transit. That's a pretty long time and you'll be able to see the main attractions in whichever city you choose.
There's a special immigration counter for this type of visit in PEK, not sure about the others, but I'm sure you'll find your way through.
More info at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/free-72hour/ and probably on the website of your country's embassy in China.

One very important thing to mention. I ran into problems during check-in because it's true that you have 72-hour visa-free permit to stay, however it applies only if you are passing through one city. I had a transfer in both Beijing and Shanghai during one day and I was told on customs that I cannot do that without visa because visa-free passage applies to only one city per visit.
So I was told I can go to Shanghai (which was my first transfer) but I cannot continue to Beijing and I need to buy a ticket to some other country or they won't let me go from Munich (because like I said, visa-free travel applies to only one city). So I actually bought ticket to Taiwan so I can at least get to China and when I arrived to Shanghai I was told it's ok to travel like this and they let me pass to Beijing with my original ticket (wtf Air China). So I am not sure what actually happened but it wasn't nice experience at all.
