I figured I'd write what I know about them here. This might become a regular feature. Quote: I have had a couple of questions concerning ("non-standard") travelling around China, hope someone's got a few answers. Right now I live in Beijing. Since in the upcoming holidays so many people seem to be going to Shanghai, the yellow montains etc. I decided to refrain from doing the same (wouldn't like to spend my holidays in crowded tourist places). I thought about going to inner Mongolia. In Yunnan at least, there are a lot of places that are still technically off limits. I know this impression because a lot of the graduate students doing research that come here tell me about the problems that they have obtaining permits to visit different places. These places tend to generally be pretty sparsely populated anyway (e.g. the Bai Ma Snow Mountain Range), so if you go without a permit, you'd be banking on not running into anyone that cares.. Probably most of the time, this would be true. Quote: 2. If so, how about (non-firearm) hunting/fishing? From what I understand, you can't use explosives for fishing, or go hunting. Quote: How's the stance of authorities on these points? Is it a "Don't disturb anyone and we're ok with it" or are they enforcing rules more stricktly (and how?)? Laws in China, at least the ones I'm familiar with, are enforced differently from province to province. This is very visible in the ways that different PSB offices handle visa extentions (and which extentions they are willing to give). It's also apparent when you hear about crackdowns on internet cafes, but never see them happening in some places. I even understand that the great firewall -- the one that implements internet filtering for the country -- has different rules in different places. The laws related to these topics are probably no different. |

I'm quoting the original questions just for context.
Each Province and Cities has their own implementation of the law. Having said that be aware that each town can have their own regulation as well. Also check with a travel agent first or if you can hire a local guide. This will save you from getting in trouble with the authorities.
Of course, as a foreigner, you might be suspicious of spying?
Be safe rather than be sorry.

Military installations tend to be sensitive. You might run into issues if you take photos or use a GPS near a military base, for example.

I would imagine that this would be a standard military security procedure worldwide
