You cannot drive with an International Driver's Permit (IDP) in mainland China, as the country has not signed the convention that recognizes IDPs. To legally drive in China, you must obtain a Chinese driver's license. Licenses from Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan are not considered valid in mainland China. Foreign residents can apply for a Chinese driver's license, and an IDP may be converted into a local license, sometimes requiring an additional examination.
In major cities like Beijing, it is now possible to get a provisional driver's license easily, sometimes without taking a test, such as at the counters in Beijing Capital Airport. However, obtaining a regular license can be more complicated, and the process may vary depending on location and time.
