China is opening its shores to the world in a new wave of tourism! Starting Wednesday, foreign tourist groups traveling by cruise can now enjoy visa-free entry at 13 specially designated ports along the country's stunning coastline.
The National Immigration Administration announced that groups of two or more travelers, organized and hosted by domestic travel agencies, can embark on a 15-day adventure without the hassle of visa applications. These cruise ports are strategically located in vibrant cities and picturesque regions, including Tianjin, Dalian, Shanghai, and more.
Whether you're exploring the bustling streets of Shanghai Municipality or soaking up the sun in Haikou and Sanya, China's diverse landscapes offer something for every traveler. Each group must continue to the next port on their cruise itinerary, ensuring a seamless journey through China's rich cultural tapestry until their ship departs the country.
This initiative not only boosts China's tourism sector but also provides an easy and organized way for global travelers to experience the country's unique blend of tradition and modernity. So, pack your bags and set sail for an unforgettable Chinese cruise experience!
