Starting January 2, 2026, Chinese passport holders can explore Turkey’s bazaars, beaches, and ancient ruins without a visa! 🇹🇷 The new 90-day visa exemption, announced by President Tayyip Erdogan, aims to supercharge tourism and cultural exchanges between the two nations.
This move comes after a 65% spike in Chinese visitors in 2024, driven by Insta-famous spots like Cappadocia’s hot-air balloons and Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia. With direct flights now linking Beijing to Ankara, Turkey is betting big on becoming Asia’s new favorite Euro-adjacent getaway. 🎈
"This isn’t just about tourism—it’s a bridge between civilizations," said a Turkish trade official, hinting at future economic collaborations. Meanwhile, Chinese social media is buzzing with #Turkey2026 travel bucket lists. 🧳
