In Mongolian language, China is called as Khyatad. Whether you are staying in a guest house, hostel or hotel, you will be required to show and often get your visa, entry stamps and passport scanned while checking in. But if you have a relative in Mongolian Khyatad or you are staying in some private residence, then you will need to register your accommodation within 24 hours of your arrival to the local police of China. At that time, you will be required to submit copies of your passport, visa, immigration entry stamp, tenancy agreement and a photograph. The agreement will need to be shown even if it is not in your name.
Because of the H1N1 flu pandemic, you will also need to undergo a health check up before you can leave the airport. If the officials suspect that you are suffering from flu, then you may be quarantined for 7 days.
