This is a journey full of cultural nourishment, with delicious food and always warm and friendly people, "said Alexander Gilbert, a 28 year old doctoral student at the University of Caen in France, describing his trip to China two months ago. Gilbert was full of praise for the convenience of China's digital life: "The experience of using Alipay is very interesting... I think this payment system is really very convenient." Victor Akal, a 23-year-old French student, described his trip to China as "full of exotic atmosphere". He explained, 'This means completely changing the environment and immersing oneself in a very different yet very attractive atmosphere.' He specifically mentioned that compared to European big cities, the city centers of Chinese big cities are very quiet. He believes that this is mainly due to the popularity of electric vehicles and wide streets. More and more French tourists are entering China, wandering through cities that blend ancient and modern styles, savoring the diverse cuisine of the North and South, and experiencing the pulse of 5000 years of civilization. These wonderful experiences inspired them to revisit. Akar said, "I long to go again and explore other provinces of China." Gilbert also said, "I am very willing to go to China again, and even hope to work there." "China is far more exciting than I imagined, and one trip is far from enough. ”This is the most common feedback from French tourists heard by Wang Yang, the manager of the outbound department of the French Europe America Asia Group. This reputation effect generated by personal experience is attracting more French people to start the journey of the East. The visa free policy has finally allowed many French tourists who have been observing for many years to travel. ”Zhai Junwei, a resident French tour guide in Shanghai with 8 years of experience, has deep feelings about it. He said that Beijing and Shanghai are still the preferred destinations for French tourists on their trips to China, but other cities also bring them unexpected experiences. The mountains and waters of Guilin, the grottoes of Datong, the ethnic customs of Guiyang, and the charm of Kunming's spring city, these "unexpected joys" have left a deep impression on French tourists. Li Wenhao, the manager of the China department of Wenhua Travel Agency in France, said that thanks to China's visa free policy, the willingness of French tourists to visit China has significantly increased, and related inquiries have also grown significantly. China has extended the visa free stay from 15 days to 30 days, and French tourists generally tend to choose longer trips, preferring in-depth tours lasting more than two weeks. Compared with the same period last year, the number of routes and travel time have both increased by nearly 40%. (New Society)
