China entry requirements
British nationals visiting mainland China need a visa, but not those visiting Hong Kong. Visas should be obtained in advance, or at Hainan Island.

If visiting Hong Kong from mainland China you should ensure you have a double or multiple entry visa to gain re-entry to the mainland.

China health
Travellers should not travel to China without comprehensive travel and medical insurance.
