With China's more friendly visa policy for foreign visitors put in place, a surge of "China Travel" excitement has been ignited, leading to a growing number of foreign bloggers eagerly sharing their travel experiences in China on various social media platforms.
According to China's National Immigration Administration (NIA), the total number of visa-free entries made by eligible foreigners exceeded 8.54 million in the first six months of 2024, accounting for 52 percent of the inbound trips during the period and representing a year-on-year growth of 190.1 percent.
In a move to further facilitate international travel, China announced on Monday the expansion of its 144-hour visa-free transit policy to three additional entry ports, taking the number of Chinese ports covered by the policy to 37.
