Singapore, Brunei, and Japan, need a Chinese visa.
Participants can apply for a visa at the Chinese
embassy or consulate in the region in which they
live. To avoid uncertainty, participants will be
advised to apply for a visa as early as possible. It
is recommended that they apply for a Chinese visa at
least 1 month in advance.

Tourist ("L") visa; an invitation letter is NOT
required for obtaining a Tourist visa.
