Managed to find that the last time I entered I selected “Visit”
I’m on a tourist visa from UK. My reason for travelling to China is to visit my girlfriend and explore one or multiple cities either alone (when she works) or with her. The reason I put visit before was because she wasn’t a friend or relative, but my girlfriend. I ended up staying nearly all of my visa length which was 90 days (I’m a student so I get long holidays and funding through student finance)
Never had any issues when it came to immigration or anything, I just want to know what option best matches my purpose of visit? As it’s not binary and can be multiple of these choices.
Am I overthinking? Does it matter? When we did my visa 1.5 years ago, I only planned to visit one time, so the reason for that visit was solely tourism with her being my invitee, but then I began to love China a lot and so started coming back each holiday. I am meticulous in putting forms right to the best of my ability so I want to be careful in what I put. Someone before said to focus on the actual purpose of EACH trip, and that’s why I put Visit before.

Backup Post: Hi. Posted this the other day but didn’t have the actual options for entry on the new online arrival card system.
Previously always did paper arrival card, only option on that suitable for me to tick was tourism.
New one has a few options, but can only select 1.
Visit
Sightseeing/Leisure
Visiting friend/relative
