Do I need to book a hotel ticket for Schengen visa?

Schengen visa requires hotel air ticket reservation form, and some countries even need air ticket issuance form. Except for countries with special requirements, in fact, flight arrangements can be used instead of booking tickets. You can contact Ctrip customer service, tell them your itinerary, and explain that you need ticket documents during the visa application process. After the visa is issued, Ctrip will give you a flight information and send it to your mailbox. If it's a direct trip to China, you can use that.
