China adopts more measures to maximize visa waiver advantages

More Chinese mainland cities are adopting visa waiver policies for foreign tourists to attract more overseas visitors.

Ten cities - Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenyang, Dalian, Guilin and Xi'an have visa waivers that target transit passengers.

As these cities reported boosts of inbound tourists, many of whom benefited from the visa waiver policies, the Chinese authorities are considering further measures to speed up visa processing and optimize visa-free stays for international transit passengers.
