In the ever-evolving landscape of China's tourism, a new buzzword has emerged on social media: “City or not city?” This term has become a popular way for residents and travelers alike to evaluate whether an activity or destination is enjoyable. Coined by a foreigner residing in Shanghai, the phrase is now widely used across various digital platforms during travels within China.
One such traveler embracing this trend is Zein Ali, a Syrian vlogger who has called China home for nearly 14 years. Recently, Zein documented his trip to the breathtaking Sanqing Mountain in east China's Jiangxi Province. Known for its stunning granite peaks and lush landscapes, Sanqing Mountain offers a serene escape from bustling city life.
Zein shared that while the natural beauty of the area was undeniably captivating, what left a lasting impression was the warmth and friendliness of the Chinese people towards international visitors. His experience underscores the benefits of China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy, which has successfully attracted a steady stream of tourists eager to explore the authentic side of China beyond the major cities.
The visa-free policy allows travelers to immerse themselves in local cultures and environments, fostering deeper connections and understanding between visitors and residents. As more international travelers take advantage of this opportunity, destinations like Sanqing Mountain are set to gain popularity, further enriching China's diverse tourism landscape.
