Hello everyone,
On my way back to Vietnam from San Francisco with China Eastern Airline, I will have a 13 hours layover in TAO (Quingdao airport) from 5pm on Oct 12 to about 7 am on Oct 13. I hold a Vietnamese passport, and I am not planning to apply for a Chinese visa, which costs $60. My questions are:
1) Am I allowed to sleep in the airport. I saw some post on 2016 and 2017 that travelers were not allowed to stay overnight. I am not sure if this is still true in 2018.
2) If they do not allow travelers to stay overnight, is it possible for me to go outside of the airport and rent a hostel/hotel? Vietnam is not in the list of 72-hours free visa.
Any help is greatly appreciated
