exalted United States3612 Posts April 03 2008 06:39 GMT #1 Hey all, I'm trying to make a trip to Shanghai this June from Taiwan. Are there any special things I need to apply for? I'm hoping no, because all of my documents for entering Taiwan say ROC (Republic of China) and not specifically Taiwan. I know for the flight, I will need to go through an intermediary stop like Hong Kong, but hopefully that will be the extent of my troubles. Thanks for any information.
