Are you already rushing out to book (预订) your trip to Paris? Wait just a minute! There are a few things you need to do.
First, you need to tell the Border Control Office (出入境管理处) in your city or province that you want to visit another country and need a passport (护照). Your passport will tell the French who you are and where you're from when you're there.
After receiving your passport, you also have to get a visa from the country you are going to visit. If the French consulate (领事馆) in China gives you a visa, you will be able to enter France.
