unintended consequences. great estate tax planning without an expensive accountant or lawyer.
You need a certificate of elegibilty to marry from your home country. This can be provided by your home countries consulate in China. It needs to be translated into Chinese, which your consulate can also do.
And you need a valid visa. I got married here on a tourist visa.
The Chinese partner needs their ID and family book. The Chinese partner can only get married to a foreigner in their home provence. In their houkou area.
Its very easy. Good luck.
ScotsAlan:
Ohh, you need passport photos of both parties. Red background I think.
ScotsAlan:
Also forgot. If you are divorced or a widow/ widower, you need the associated documents to show to your consulate. It will take about a month for your consulate to issue the eligability to marry letter. And a few more days to translate into Chinese. Depends on your country of origin. The actual Chinese part of marrying a Chinese national is really easy.

Sooo, you are the one (of many) from Phil's 'Sex on 30-days L' ....
I would never think that ... 
about you ... 
P.S.
Update on BTC:
'it dropped down to US$ 10k two nights ago and major EXs had to close because of 'blip-too much web traffic', butT.... it was back to comfortable US$ 14700 in less than 24-hours.'
Chart readers are all waiting for US$ 7000 level ...

and she has to be above 20 yo. Marriage age is high in China. or have they already canceled it together with the one child policy?
Yeah, the bribe price must be given to the parents even if she is over 50, the bride, that is.
If the the family asks for a dowry, walk. My wife's family didn't and they've been completely out of our hair. Everyone who's paid a dowry has the wife's family all in their marriage and many have to take them in.
If you plan on going back to your home country, marry in HK
Hotwater:
Why are you suggesting getting married in HK? A translated & notarized Chinese weeding book is proof of marriage in the UK for immigration purposes. Does the USA recognize them?
Englteachted:
HK, saves you the trouble of all the docs needed for marriage in China. You don't have to go back to her hometown, marriage cert doesn't need to be translated because it's already in English
