You do not need a Chinese visa to go to Hong Kong if you are US citizen with passport. Also, if you do find something that connects through Mainland China to a third country you can do a 144 hour "transit without visa".

Look at runs from LAX to Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta. Those will get you 15-20k miles round-trip and easily for less than $1000.
