TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around an expat's inquiry about experiences with visa runs to Shanghai, including potential difficulties. Commenters mention the type of visa sought, such as an SETV or 30-day exemption stamp, and provide insights about the advantages of traveling to China, including shopping and historical sites. There is also a reference to visa specificities for Chinese citizens and foreign nationals with residence permits in certain regions.

It depends are you trying to get an SETV or other visa...or just a 30 day exemption stamp when returning...China is nice great shopping opportunities and great for historical sites...HK is China but a true free trade zone for the next couple of years...you can always take the ferry from HK to mainland China

I don't think Taiwan, Korea or Japan are good options if you actually want a visa, I think they are all quite restrictive and limit to residents like China. I have got one in Hong Kong before no hassle.

Hmm, what kind of visa are you looking to get?
They have this posted at the top of their info page about tourist visas
"Tourist visa for Chinese citizens applying individually and for foreign nationals with residence permit in Shanghai,Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui"
