Is it possible to not issue a visa to China in Moscow, following the Hong Kong-Shanghai-Seoul route?

Responds Maria Ilyukhina, World of Wanderings
Citizens of Russia to visit Hong Kong for a period not exceeding 14 days, no visa is required.

To visit China in the visa is not required for 72 hours, but the Embassy of China recommends opening it in advance, because at border posts, problems may arise, they must show tickets, find fault with the state of the passport. Therefore, to avoid queues and problems, it is better to secure and issue a visa to China.

However, the lack of the need to obtain a short-term visa for Hong Kong for Russians does not mean unhindered visits to China. To do this, you need a Chinese visa, which, once disposable, automatically ceases to operate when you enter the territory of Hong Kong.
