Yeah, wow. I really should visit China and probably especially Beijing in the future. But I'm not fully in the bright about how easy/hard it is for Westerners to go to China. I believe it is quite hard. Though, I was quite amazed a few days ago when I stumbled upon an Austrian YouTube-Vlogger that is traveling with his van. He seems to have gotten into China without any visa or any major trouble in a short time via the Kazakh/Chinese boarder.
Since you seem to be new (I'll read your introductory post right after finishing this comment), I dropped you 5 HSBI units. In case you didn't know: This is a service that rewards participants according to their amount of shares/units with automated votes on their posts, so people that regularly post qualitative original content can build somewhat of a "passive" and "stable" income. You can read more here.
Thank you so much for the 5 HSBI units, I really appreciate it 🙏 About traveling here, most foreigners do need a visa to enter China, especially if you plan to stay for some time or visit big cities like Beijing. That’s why it’s quite surprising to hear about the vlogger crossing the border without much trouble. Normally, it’s better to prepare a visa in advance to avoid any issues
