Hello. We are a Danish family travelling to Beijing next week on a tourist trip. There are 4 people plus my daughter bringing her friend with her. Her friend is 17 years old and is travelling with us. She is travelling without her parents. We have return tickets back to Denmark and proof of hotel stay. Do we need any kind of documentation from my daughter friends parents that it is okay for us bring her with us to China. We will only stay for one week, therefore we don't need a visa.
