Do I need to book a hotel to exit Shenzhen Airport?

No, it is not necessary to book a hotel to exit Shenzhen Airport. The rules for visa-free transit do not require proof of accommodation, and this is confirmed by tourists' personal experiences: when exiting to the city, they do not ask for a hotel reservation. However, if you have a very short layover (for example, up to 8 hours), having a reservation may reduce the chances of questions from border guards, but this is not guaranteed and not officially confirmed. For booking hotels with payment by Russian cards, you can use sites like Trip.com or Ostrovok.ru. In general, exiting to the city is possible without extra formalities if you have time.
