Incomplete itinerary on Chinese visa form
Going to China I'll arrive in Beijing and leave again from Zhangjiajie. I've already booked my accommodation for Beijing, but not yet for Zhangjiajie. To apply for a Chinese visa I have to fill in the places where I will be staying (itinerary). So I already filled in the location of Beijing, but I can't fill the place for Zhangjiajie in yet.
I know it's not a problem if I would visit other places without sharing that information up front, but since Zhangjiajie is the city which is on my flight ticket to get out of China, I'm not sure if only the flight will do without accommodation.
Since I leave China from Zhangjiajie, will it be an issue if I apply for my visa without having a location of Zhangjiajie added to my itinerary?
Result: I filled in the form and only filled in "Zhangjiajie, Hunan" on the form instead of a full address since I didn't have one yet and I handed over my flight information. It was no problem at all and I got my visa.

Likewise, our experience has been they don't seem to care much. We have made several side trips that weren't planned ahead and therefore weren't on our itinerary. Sometimes hotel stays would have revealed to the government where we were, nobody has said anything about it. When they offered 2 year visas to overseas Chinese and spouses we got them without trouble.
(We have always been traveling in the company of Chinese citizens and sometimes they were the ones on the registration. Negotiation goes a lot better if they think they're dealing with locals.)
