When Canadian solo traveler Alina Mcleod touched down in Guangzhou under China’s 144-hour visa-free transit policy, she expected ancient temples… not high-speed innovation. Spoiler: She got both! 🌆✨
“China’s modernization blew me away,” Alina gushed in her latest vlog, raving about the bullet trains (goodbye, traffic jams!), cashless payments (even street vendors use QR codes! 📱), and sky-high malls that felt “straight out of a sci-fi movie.”
But it wasn’t just the tech. From misty mountain vistas 🏞️ to cuddly pandas 🐼, she found China’s diversity as striking as its progress. “People think they know China—until they go,” she said, already planning her next trip. ✈️
Pro tip for wanderlusters: The visa-free policy lets you explore major hubs like Beijing or Shanghai for 6 days—no visa needed! 🎒 Ready to swipe right on adventure?
