Airport upgraded for visitor influx

72-hour visa-free policy prompts improvements to welcome travelers

Travelers at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport can enjoy Mapo tofu and have a shower before they board their flight as part of the improved services at the airport's restored international terminal.

China's western portal city Chengdu, in Sichuan province, has attracted more overseas visitors since it brought in the 72-hour visa-free policy last September, said an airport official.
