More Foreign Friends "Check In" to Spring in China

         Foreign influencers visiting China have been live-streaming their experiences, with one notable moment being when a high-speed train entered a tunnel without any network disruptions, which earned praise from international viewers. With the recent upgrade of tax refund measures for outbound travelers, foreign tourists can now collect tax refunds immediately after shopping in more cities and stores across China. Moreover, with payment systems from various countries fully integrated, foreign nationals can now use their local e-wallets for seamless transactions in China. To facilitate inbound travel, China has recently rolled out a series of measures to streamline entry procedures, drawing more global friends to experience spring in China.

　　Currently, China offers unilateral visa-free entry for citizens of 38 countries and extends the transit visa exemption to 240 hours for travelers from 54 countries. As China's visa-exemption circle continues to expand, inbound tourism is steadily increasing.
