Meet Rachel, a university student from Uzbekistan studying in Sichuan, who turned her semester break into a whirlwind tour of China’s vibrant cities. Her favorite stop? Chongqing—a metropolis where neon-lit skyscrapers meet misty mountain views. 🏙️✨ From snapping selfies at the iconic Hongya Cave to braving the fiery Sichuan hotpot (🔥🍲), Rachel’s adventure was packed with ‘pinch-me’ moments. \"Chongqing feels alive,\" she says. \"Every corner has a story.\"
Rachel isn’t alone. Thousands of international travelers are now leveraging China’s 144-hour visa-free transit policy to explore its cultural gems—no visa required. Whether it’s blended modernity and tradition in Shanghai or the ancient Silk Road vibes in Xi’an, China’s ‘travel buffet’ is winning hearts. 🥟📸
For wanderlust-driven Gen-Zers and young pros, this policy is a game-changer. Stay 6 days, hop between cities, and dive into everything from street food to UNESCO sites. As Rachel puts it: \"China surprises you every step of the way.\"
