Holders of New Zealand passports can now explore China visa-free for up to 15 days! 🌍 The policy, effective since July 2024, covers tourism, business, and family visits—and Kiwis are already rushing to book trips. Online searches for China-related travel skyrocketed by 65% within 30 minutes of the announcement, according to Trip.com.
Former New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, who recently toured China, praised the move in an interview with CGTN. 🗣️ \"There are a million different things to see in China. No one can see it all on one trip,\" he said, highlighting the country’s vast cultural and scenic diversity. Key also applauded the growing number of direct flights, calling China \"our second-largest source of tourists.\"
From the Great Wall to Shanghai’s neon skyline, China’s mix of ancient heritage and modern innovation is drawing global travelers like never before. 📸 With easier access and rising interest, 2024 could be the year Kiwis—and the world—rediscover the Middle Kingdom.
