In 2025, the popularity of "China Travel" will continue to rise. While foreign tourists are shocked by the classic scenes such as the Great Wall at Badaling in Beijing, the scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, and the Terra Cotta Warriors in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in Xi'an, they also have a deeper understanding of China through the small and beautiful life scenes of urban and rural residents. Young Thai tourist Puli and her friends were attracted by the cool "China Travel" post on overseas social media platforms and recently came to Shanghai. While heading to "super destinations" such as Shanghai Disneyland and Wukang Road, they also checked in on street scenes such as the "Little Dome" on the North Bund and the Thousand Trees in Tian'an. We take the subway and ride hailing services to various places in Shanghai, communicate with locals using translation software, and dine at small restaurants on the street, which is very convenient. ”Puli said. On December 9th, a group of foreign tourists lined up in front of the "Little Dome" on the North Bund in Shanghai to take photos. Chen Aiping, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, took photos from visiting the barbecue shop on Nanjing Road Walkway to riding on the cruise ship in Zhujiajiao Ancient Town in Chinese clothes, from walking on the outdoor spiral pedestrian path in the East Hall of Shanghai Museum to the fashionable "flash shop" in the Xintiandi Business District, from participating in a community cultural activity in the vegetable market to learning Chinese characters in the Mass Art Museum, from going to the hospital to experience acupuncture and moxibustion and massage to take a high-speed railway cross provincial tour, from scanning the yard to riding sharing bicycles to "grabbing" electronic payment coupons... More foreign tourists immersively feel the beautiful life of coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization in various places on the way of "China Tour". Based on comprehensive data and information from the cultural and tourism departments and tourism platforms, the source countries, entry methods, and information channels for foreign visitors to China in 2025 will be more abundant. Their destinations will also extend from first tier cities and port cities to a wider area. On May 28, a foreign tourist showed her Alipay App at the cultural and creative shop of the East Museum of Shanghai Museum.

The beautiful mountains and rivers, developing rural areas, modern cities, and warm and friendly Chinese people have allowed me to see a prosperous China, which greatly exceeds my imagination before coming to China. ”He specifically mentioned that China has well-developed infrastructure such as highways, which makes cycling enthusiasts feel friendly and safe. As foreign tourists continue to flock in both directions, China welcomes visitors from all over the world with a more open and friendly attitude. At present, China has achieved comprehensive visa free access with 29 countries and unilaterally exempted 48 countries. The policy of visa free transit has also been fully relaxed and optimized, and the visa free "circle of friends" has extended from Europe to Latin America and the Middle East. On August 30, in the city square of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower Radio and Television Tower in Shanghai, Claude Brewer, a cycling enthusiast, took a group photo with his cartoon image background wall. According to data from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, international passenger flights will continue to maintain rapid recovery and growth in 2025, with the number of flights increasing to over 7000 per week, a year-on-year increase of nearly 20%. Various regions continue to create convenient payment, language, and travel environments, upgrading "tourist friendly" services in neighborhoods, communities, sports events, cultural exhibitions, shopping and dining scenes, and achieving "host guest sharing". Dai Bin, President of the China Tourism Research Institute, said that Chinese and foreign tourists are accelerating their entry into each other's daily life scenes. People gain cultural insights, enhance understanding, strengthen cultural exchanges, and become more familiar and close to each other during their travels. (New Society)
