If you choose to stay in a hotel, you can ask the hotel staff to assist you in completing the registration. The validity of this temporary accommodation registration will last until you check out of the hotel.
If you rent a room or stay with a friend, you must bring your passport to the local police station to register within 24 hours of your arrival in China. This type of temporary accommodation registration will remain valid until your visa expires.
In addition, some cities in China also support online registration. For example, in Guangzhou, you can register your temporary accommodation on the WeChat official account "Guangzhou Bureau of Public Security". For more details, you can consult your property manager or landlord.
