Do I have to check in to the hotel?

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. You must register. Ordinary tourists don't need to register with their ID cards if they don't stay. According to Article 6 of the Measures for the Administration of Public Security in Hotel Industry, hotels must register when they receive passengers. At the time of registration, the passenger's identity documents shall be checked and truthfully registered according to the prescribed items. To receive accommodation from overseas tourists, an accommodation registration form shall also be submitted to the local public security organ within 24 hours.
