- Many people ask me, how did you get to China during the COVID-19 pandemic? Well, the answer is, by plane, on China Southern Airlines! Well, that is the simple answer - it is actually much more complicated than that.
In this video, I document my experience flying from #Australia to #China (Sydney - Guangzhou), and what it was like to both travel to and go through customs and immigration in China during the #COVID19 pandemic.

If you have any questions about flying to China in 2021 - feel free to ask in the comments section! I would have liked to film more during customs/immigration/testing, but unfortunately, we weren't allowed to film there.
Can you please explain the procedures?
What are the steps required, etc?
Already here, returned in March 2020. 😂😂 Welcome back!
Thank you! I went home in June, and came back at the end of September (just finished quarantine a week ago)
@@Hazza_Harding oh wow, so you’ve really been through the wringer 😳. Glad you made it through!
OMG! Wow!!!! It's an entirely different process to enter/exit a custom border from country to country nowadays. That was an eye-opening moment for me. Cheers, and stay safe!
I will - you too! Glad you found this video helpful/interesting. Have a good one, and thanks for commenting!
Getting emotional watching you landing in Guangzhou!
Hope all is well with you!
Thank you - it has been quite of a big adjustment, but I will slowly get there!
Welcome back man. After the quarrantine, you'll be one of the people who have most freedom against COVID on earth
Good luck on that. I definitely feel more free here I am.
Man, is it embarrassing to say that I got tears in my eyes watching you touching down in Guangzhou?!.
...I'm still stuck in Germany....,
I hope you don't get to bored in quarantine.
I'd voluntarily do 6 weeks if they'd let me into China. LOL
It isn't embarrassing to say at all! I've finished quarantine now - I actually made a video about it a while back
Dude, China is always here, you will come back sooner or later, especially after Xi promised China will be more open in future
Great to fly China Southern again!
Yeah - hopefully in the future travel restrictions can ease and I can fly internationally again soon!
East west, hometown and China are the best.
Yep - home is where the heart is!
@@Hazza_Harding 👍home away from home 🏡
@@user-xt7vj5cn5e Exactly
What a unique experience in life.
It's great that you're safely back to Guangzhou and freed from your 21-day quarantine by now. 👍💕💕💕
All the best. 💙💜💖❤️️🧡💛💚
Thank you!! Yeah, it feels so good just to be back out and about - and luckily I came back for the best time of year weather-wise in Guangzhou
Have not been airport for 2 years, almost forgot how I felt anxious as I could not wait to finish check in, go through security and border pass then could not wait to go for shopping before I get onboard 😂.
Yeah - I can't believe how much I took for granted being able to go to the airport and fly wherever I wanted prior to 2020 - I definitely will not be taking that for granted ever again, and I was so grateful to be able to experience flying internationally twice in 2021
@@Hazza_Harding flying during covid particular experience in your life 😂🤣. I had the same experience in 2001 at Beijing Airport to fly back to my hometown when the Sars outbreak just happened in Beijing. Everybody wore masks at airport except me then I realised how serious was. Beijing was closed border a week after I left there😂.
@@user-xt7vj5cn5e That must have been quite a scary experience - what did it feel like at the time?
@@Hazza_Harding scaried and lots rumours made us more scared. Did not know when it will be finished or will never finish same like this time. Felt so lucky to get back to my hometown.
I am anxious every time I fly home . I have trouble to sleep before getting to airport. I have trouble to sleep during the flight. Landing in PEK is always such a wonderful moment. This COVID-19 shit is long enough. All those green codes or right before flight testing plus three week in hotel after arrival make it almost impossible to fly. I want to visit my hometown BADLY
Already here returned in august 2020 .. welcome back
Thanks mate - glad you are back!
Greetings from China, I also flew back to Shanghai early this year from Brisbane. Luckily at that time, only two weeks quarantine was needed. Hope you enjoy your time in China.
Just discovered your channel. Looking forward to looking through your videos. Guangzhou is one of the cities I used to call home, looking forward to seeing some things to make me feel nostalgic...
Welcome aboard!
was almost in tears when you read welcome home message.
Are you feeling a bit homesick?
I went back home from Melbourne via Sydney in late July this year and I took Xiamen Airlines. The quarantine hotels for passengers whose final destinations are somewhere not in Fujian are mostly great. I was assigned to a hotel owned by a circus in Jimei District. It was very spacious and clean. I could order delivery meals and grocery every night. Ah, by the way, the crews on my flight to Xiamen didn't wear the full-body hazmat suit, just the rain-coat like gowns.
欢迎来中国，尽管过程繁琐，但也是为了大家的安全。
welcome back to Guangzhou. Even the checking process is mandatory. But it is will be better for you and the other people healthy. enjoy your time in Guangzhou.
That was quite an ordeal you had to endure. No real food for nine hours! They could have served TV dinner from the super-market at least! Really glad you are back in China. Hope to more of your singing. You can make a career of it if you ever tire of newscasting.
Yeah, I am hoping to record a new song soon!
谢谢分享!!!! Hazza, 很佩服你能随遇而安，世界上还有什么可以难倒你呢？😉👍👍👍知道Mei Ling现在可以天天見到你，很为你们高兴 😄😄👏👏👏
哈哈～ 对啊，Mayling已经回到家了，天天和她玩我也很开心
😄😄太好了!!!! Hazza， 真对不起, 我把 Mayling 的名字串錯了😟希望 Mayling 不会介意🙏🙏
I passed through Hong-Kong on my way into Thailand earlier this year. Airport was virtually EMPTY and incredibly clean. Likely to be a while yet before the region sees a major influx of travel again.
Yeah - I think it will probably be at least late 2022.
一切平安順利
谢谢您
Interesting video. Thank you.
Hi Hazza, happy to see u back to China! Wishing you well always and enjoy your stay in China! 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍
恭喜博主出关啦！
That will me me in about 3 weeks! I’m a bit nervous about going through the lengthy customs process without a solid Chinese vocabulary. Wish me luck!
You'll be fine, everything will go smoothly, don't worry!
The staff can speak English so you dont need worry
Looking forward to your Chinese videos Hazza
Please show us your dogs reaction when welcoming you back
She's barking at the door as we speak - someone just came to deliver something
This is a very helpful information for me!
good to see you，Hazza
Thanks, Gazza
So glad you are back to China 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks, Sandy!
Exciting 😁
Definitely a flight I will never forget!
Wow.. Nice
Thank you! Cheers!
welcome to GuangZhou
Thank you!
Welcome home again 🏡!
Thank you!!
all processes you experienced in baiyun airport seem simpler than what i experienced in xiamen airport....i went back from brisbane last july as well, that was an unforgettable experience in my life.. don’t know when I can go back to visit Queensland again, I really enjoyed my life in brisbane and gold coast.
I hope both of us will get a chance to go back to Queensland and enjoy the GC beaches again soon!
if i go there as a tourist, i am not sure if i am prepared to go through so many hoops 😢😢😢. love from canada.
Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not possible to get a tourist visa to China - hopefully next year things may change!
@@Hazza_Harding If you are not there as a tourist how did you get back in? Do you have family there, or do you have a business visa?
@@AsterBonRacioArec No - I have a residence permit which is still valid. You can enter China if you hold a residence permit that has not expired
At present, foreigners are only allowed to enter China on work visas.Even if you are married to a Chinese, you can't get a visa,Many Chinese and foreign couples cannot return to China together
@@wadeabout1856 如果你的配偶是中国公民而且居住在中国，你应该在之前申请居留证，这样现在是可以随时入境中国。这个是2020年8月中国向工作签证一起开放的入境种类。当然，如果你以前在中国境内没有申请，现在人在中国境外是申请不到的，因为你以往一直没有申请，它认为你没有这个需求。
thank you for sharing your
journey with us
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Welcome back to Guangzhou.
Welcome to Guangzhou, Oct is the best season of a year in GZ
Yeah, great weather! It is now pretty chilly! Wearing a big jacket today for the first time in ages...
Same here, just came back to Guangzhou from Sydney, and I’m still in quarantine 😂
Hang in there!! Which part of the city are you in? Is the hotel okay?
wow ... It's business class...
Especially during the pandemic, i feel a bit safer to have a little extra room between myself and other passengers
Thanks again, Hazza, for sharing. Did you schedule your flight through a 3rd party (i.e. Flight Centre) or the airline (i.e. China Southern) directly? Did you choose to overlay in Sydney in particular? I believe you must have reunited with Meilin already. Please let us know how she is? Many thanks, Sophie
I booked directly with the airline. Also, there were no flights to/from Brisbane, which is why I needed to fly through Sydney. Meiling is back at home! I will post a video soon about her!
@@Hazza_Harding Thank you, Hazza! Looking forward to Meiling's video!
I came back China from brisbane as well in August
Nice! Did you fly through Sydney also?
Wasn’t this shown a few weeks ago? Jazzy should finish with quarantine already
No - I saved it so that people could watch it, and then watch the video about quarantine straight after
@@Hazza_Harding I thought I had seen it before. Sorry about how your name was spelled (it was auto corrected)
Nice to travel in style.
And safely - very lucky!
Welcome back！
Thank you!!
@@Hazza_Harding Miss Guangzhou！stuck in Hong Kong for almost two years！
中国欢迎一切友善的外国朋友
Thanks for sharing. Question. What type of visa did you have and did you qualify for any exemption for entry? I really want to visit my friends in China but I only have a tourist visa.
Hi there - I have a residence permit that is still valid, you can currently enter/exit China if you have a valid residence permit as a foreigner. I applied for an exemption to leave Australia as I work/live overseas
hazza, did u read the article sydney morning herald wrote about you?
Yes, I did
What are your thoughts on the article?
@@Hazza_Harding well hazza, you are trying to improve china and Aus relation, but the media on Australia has been very anti china because of murdock. and recent years of reporting bad things about china, to brainwash the Australian that have never been to china. mainly i think because of the trade war between china and US. Aus has to pick a side..
Thanks for all of your videos - really reassuring before I make the flight back to China next month. Trivial question but I assume no booze on the flight?
You’re right - no booze on the flight, or in quarantine!
@@Hazza_Harding !!! what if you pack some whisky in your checked luggage?
Welcome back to China.
Thank you!
Welcome to China.
Thank you!
有字幕，感谢 🤗🤗
nice share,thx🙏🙏🙏!

Heck, I thought there's a total ban on international travel.
Not entirely
I want to fly back to Beijing in December next year, do you know when they will allow flights from Thailand again?
Hey - I am not sure. If you are talking about December 2022, then I am pretty sure there’s a good chance that travel restrictions will have eased by then (but that is merely speculation on my behalf)
Hey Hazza, do you know anything about the process of flying non-direct. Since I'm in Perth and looking at a February timeframe, I am investigating flights through Singapore to China but I understand it may be especially complicated? I might have to spend a lot more like you did and just go to Sydney first. I appreciate any insight. Thanks for the great videos!
Hi Carl - I believe that if you fly non-direct you will need to be tested in Singapore, but I haven’t looked into it. Perhaps a better option would be to do what I did and fly to Sydney first, then fly from Sydney to China
@@Hazza_Harding Thanks Hazza, yeah it seems like a "better safe than sorry" kinda thing.
欢迎你
谢谢您！
欢迎回来！祝贺你顺利通关！期待你的新视频！
谢谢您
pessimistically I don't believe international travel would return to Pre-covid until at least 2025😥
I hope it doesn't take that long to return to normal. I remember thinking in 2020 that I probably wouldn't be able to visit home for years, but luckily I was able to do that in 2021 - so hopefully things will sort themselves out faster than that
Great
wow can we go back to China now?I am student there in China but we are still not allowed😔.
You can return to China if you have a valid work permit/residence permit that has not expired
欢迎回来广州，珠光新城见
谢谢您！
Is Chinese tourist visa open now or open soon
No, it is currently not possible to get a tourist visa to China. I'm not sure when they will become available again
Because China has returned to normal life for more than a year, the number of people entering China every day is too large, and the border epidemic prevention staff is insufficient. If the tourist visa is opened, it will further increase the pressure of border epidemic prevention.
Because the epidemic prevention measures in Hong Kong, China do not meet the requirements, ordinary residents are also unable to enter the mainland.
Macao, China, has taken strict epidemic prevention measures according to the requirements of the government, so ordinary residents are allowed to enter the mainland.
We are so strict with our people that we can imagine how much the government attaches importance to epidemic prevention.
@@wadeabout1856 应该严格控制旅游入境群体

中国过去对外国人入境太宽松了
疫情刚好也是个照妖镜
很多以前对国外/外国人迷信的现在多少有点真实感觉了
别人歧视你攻击你其实和疫情无关
只不过疫情放大了这个事实
Hi Hazza, Any idea on the process from UK to china and back?
I am not aware of the situation regarding the UK, but in my experience, you can leave and return to China if you have a valid residence permit for work. Unfortunately, at the moment, there are no direct flights between China and the Uk which complicates things
Do you work in Guangzhou?As a native in Guangzhou,welcome.
真不容易，辛苦了
How did you get visa to china. ? As an American or Canadian. We are not able to fly to china. Period.
I have a valid residence permit that has not expired which is why I was able to leave and return to China
@@Hazza_Harding thanks for the reply. I’m Chinese holding non Chinese passport and not able to go to china to see my parents. So Pissed off :-(
this was the latest flight back to China or was it your last one ?
It was the flight I took to get back to China at the end of September
Is it okay to return toChina?

As an Australian Citizen, why would you want to travel to PRC when our governments are very hostile towards each other right now!!!
Why not? Just because the governments are hostile, it doesn’t mean the people need to be...
@@Hazza_Harding It says on the DFAT website “As previously advised, (PRC) authorities have detained foreigners on grounds of 'endangering national security'. Australians may be at risk of arbitrary detention.”
Wow, Australians are more sensible in airport, I saw people sit apart from each other, I saw people wear masks and face shields, while in the US, the airports are packed with people, most of them no masks or pull their masks under noses...
Yeah - at least while I was back home, most people wore masks everywhere and followed social distancing guidelines
May I ask how much will be cost from Sydney to Guangzhou?
The return ticket was around $10,000+
What are the two tests you need to get in???
A nucleic acid test and a blood test (forgot the proper names for them)
What about Indian passport holders ?
欢迎回到中国！
谢谢您！
I'm not trying to be that kind of guy but it pisses me off so much that workers are allowed to comeback but not students. Work is found everywhere especially for expats but for us international students you just can't pull out from a degree you're enrolled in and invested your soul and hardwork for 2,3,4,5 years with your future at jeopardy.
I totally understand your frustration. The reason I was able to come back to China is because I have a valid residence permit, and currently you can enter/exit China if you have a valid residence permit
No food,….over 8 hours🤔🙂
Went was this filmed ??
I flew back to China on the 27th of September - just finished my 3 weeks of quarantine, the link to that video is at the end of this one
Ah got it, i just feel odd that after seeing your quarantine vid then this pops up, now i not cofuse any more
@@Revliss Yeah - I thought it would be better to make the quarantine video first, and then this one. That way, people could watch them together
已经到家，这是个后补视频
是呀，这样大家可以先看这个再直接看隔离的视频
If I was you I would fly China Southern A380😁
Unfortunately there isn’t much choice these days, just happy to get a flight!
Madness. I love China but they went nuts with the nonsense too. What added to this is that no politician wants to be held liable for an "outbreak".
Oh, we went nuts with nonsense? That's fresh point
1 what's the menaing of 'I love China'? for what reason you love China, it sounds like a PUA trick, you love us then we have to offer you whatever you want, sick
2 'no politician wants to be held liable for an "outbreak"' why should we Chinese be liable for any outbreaks?
@@IwasUnknownUser sperg detected
@@freakinccdevilleiv380 a Chinese just replied you, and you used derogatory slang term to answer, how can you say 'you love China' but you have no basic respect for Chinese, so fk OFF
@@IwasUnknownUser I replied to just an individual, not to the whole china.
why were you allowed to return to China?? work Visa?
I have a valid residence permit. You can leave and return if you have a valid residence permit
Can u tell me the price of the airline ticket?
It was over $10,000 return
No food service even for business class, that tells me they takes COVID very seriously.
Exactly. Taking it very seriously!

Who wants to fly to that dump?
I do, and it's not a dump
@@Hazza_Harding Have you even looked at the massive impact China has on the world by not following any international laws, i.e., immense pollution, over fishing their own waters and illegally over fishing in other international waters, not to even state the gross human rights violations. China cares less for anyone else on this plant other than themselves. My brother consulting in China saw at the industrial work areas 60's & 70's era medical equipment and treatment. You have bought into the thin layer of China's front, but underneath it is a filthy, virus filled dump and your supporting it.. Well done!
