China is making it easier for people around the world to visit. This year, the country has steadily introduced new visa facilitation measures, increasing the number of countries with visa exemptions. Currently, China has implemented or is planning to implement unilateral visa-free policies with 38 countries.
As this “circle of friends” continues to grow, enthusiasm for traveling to China is soaring. The expanded visa-free access means more people can explore China’s rich history, vibrant culture, and modern cities without the hassle of applying for a visa.
Travelers from the newly added countries can now experience famous landmarks like the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors more easily than ever before. The move is expected to boost tourism, foster cultural exchange, and strengthen international ties.
Local businesses are preparing to welcome an influx of tourists, offering unique experiences that showcase China’s diversity. From the bustling streets of Shanghai to the serene landscapes of Guilin, there’s something for everyone.
China’s efforts to open its doors wider reflect a commitment to global engagement and cooperation. By making travel more accessible, the country hopes to share its heritage with the world and build lasting friendships.
