Great news for travelers! ✈️ China has just announced a new visa-free policy for citizens of Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, and Luxembourg. From March 14, these lucky travelers can explore the wonders of China for up to 15 days without the hassle of a visa! 🎉
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the exciting announcement on March 7. This visa-free policy is available for business, tourism, family visits, or transit, and will be in place until November 30, 2024.
This move follows last year's visa exemptions for citizens of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia. It's all part of China's efforts to boost inbound tourism and strengthen international ties. 🌏
Wang Yi expressed hope that more countries will offer similar advantages to Chinese citizens, making travel easier and contributing to a more connected world. 🤝
Since the announcement, there's been a surge in flight searches to and from these countries on Trip.com, one of the Chinese mainland's major travel booking platforms. Looks like everyone is ready for an adventure! 🧳
So, pack your bags and get ready to explore the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and delicious cuisine that China has to offer! 🍜🏯
