i am a US citizen visiting my daughter in Korea. Can I get a tourist visa to enter China?
Would I need to be quarantined if I visit China? Or would I be able to go and stay at my friend's home?

As a U.S. citizen, you need to apply for a Chinese tourist visa (L visa). Steps are as follows:
1.Online application: Fill out and print the form via China Visa Online System (https://www.visaforchina.cn/).
2.Documents needed:
Passport valid ≥6 months + Korean residence proof (e.g., Alien Registration Card);
Invitation letter from your friend (with itinerary/accommodation address) + copies of their ID/property certificate;
Financial proof (e.g., bank statements).
3.Submission: Submit materials to the Seoul Chinese Visa Application Center (some may skip fingerprint collection).
4.Processing time: 5–10 working days; apply ahead of schedule.
