Max.Stay1: The value is a theoretical maximum calculated based on the latest flight schedule data. It is based on the estimate that "your flight departs and arrives on the same day"; if the flight arrives the following day, the maximum number of days may be less than this estimate. Flight schedule data may suffer from issues of untimely updates. Furthermore, factors such as weather leading to flight delays or cancellations can also result in inaccuracies in this estimate. If the number of days is less than three, it is generally not recommended to travel, as, after accounting for the time spent on flights, there would be insufficient time left for sightseeing and activities.

Tips

The calculation for the 144-hour transit in China starts from midnight on the day following your entry, and the total duration must not exceed 144 hours.

Tips

According to the regulations, the scope of stay is limited to the Chongqing Municipality only.
