China → Gabon
For short tourist/business visits, an eVisa is available for stays up to 90 days.
The eVisa must be approved before travel; eVisa holders must arrive via Libreville International Airport. Passport validity of at least 6 months on arrival is commonly required; Gabon is listed among countries requiring incoming passengers to hold a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. I found no sourced rule that a valid U.S. visa substitutes for a Gabon visa.

Common questions
Do not treat the U.S. visa as a Gabon visa waiver. The sourced rule is that Chinese passport holders use Gabon's eVisa for up to 90 days; I found no sourced rule that a valid U.S. visa substitutes for a Gabon visa.
The sourced rule for Hong Kong SAR passport holders is Gabon's eVisa, with stays up to 90 days.
Gabon's Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa-exempt list includes Singapore, and the visa-policy page lists a 30-day visa exemption; however, the material notes this is not reflected in IATA Timatic, so airline boarding checks may require confirmation.
Do not rely on the ordinary eVisa rule. The U.S. Embassy Libreville page and visa-policy materials indicate that Gabon imposed a visa/entry restriction on U.S. citizens effective 2026-01-01.
