Hold onto your passports, globetrotters! 🎒 China just dropped a major travel update that’s set to make cross-border adventures smoother than ever. Starting September 15, 2025, Russian citizens can enjoy 30-day visa-free entry to China for business, tourism, family visits, or transit – no paperwork required! 🚀
The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced the one-year trial during a press briefing in Beijing, with spokesperson Guo Jiakun calling it a 'step toward fostering people-to-people connections.' The policy applies to holders of ordinary passports and could supercharge cultural exchanges between the two nations.
