The following are some facilitative measures to make "China Travel" more convenient:
I. Visa related Facilitative Measures
Visa free Transit Policy
Many cities in China have implemented visa free transit policies. For example, for international transit passengers with a certain time limit (usually 24 or 72 hours, or even 144 hours in some cases) in specific cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc., they can transit without a visa under certain conditions. This allows short stay business trips or tourism related transit to be more convenient, saving the time and trouble of applying for a transit visa.
Streamlined Visa Application Procedures
The Chinese government has been constantly working on simplifying visa application forms, reducing the number of required documents in some cases. For example, for regular tourist visas, some embassies and consulates have made it clear that basic travel itineraries, hotel reservations, and proof of sufficient funds can be presented in a more simplified format.
Online visa application systems have also been gradually improved. Applicants can submit visa applications, track application progress, and receive visa related notifications online, which is more efficient than the traditional paper based application process.
Long term Multiple entry Visas
For some frequent business travelers, long term multiple entry visas are issued. For example, for businesspeople who have regular trade or cooperation activities in China, they can obtain visas with a longer validity period and multiple entry permissions, which reduces the frequency of visa applications and is conducive to promoting international business exchanges and investment cooperation.
II. Transportation Facilitative Measures
Airport and Aviation
Expansion and modernization of airports: Major cities in China have continuously expanded and upgraded their airports. For example, Beijing Daxing International Airport has a large scale terminal building with advanced facilities. It has a high efficiency transfer system, which shortens the transfer time for passengers.
Increase in international flight routes: Airlines are constantly opening new international routes, connecting China with more overseas destinations. This provides more travel options for international tourists coming to China and Chinese tourists going abroad.
Improvement of aviation service quality: Airlines are strengthening flight attendant training, improving in flight service, and enhancing the overall travel experience of passengers. For example, providing more diverse in flight meals, better entertainment facilities, and more personalized service.
Railway Transportation
High speed rail network expansion: China's high speed rail network has covered a large area of the country. For tourists traveling within China, high speed rail provides a fast, comfortable, and convenient mode of transportation. It also has good connections with major tourist cities and scenic spots. For example, tourists can easily take the high speed rail to visit famous historical and cultural cities such as Xi'an, Nanjing, etc.
International railway cooperation: China is also promoting international railway cooperation projects, such as the China Europe Railway Express. Although it is mainly for freight at present, in the long run, it also has the potential to develop into a new form of international passenger transportation, which will bring more convenience for cross border travel.
Urban Public Transportation
In major tourist cities, the construction of urban public transportation systems has been continuously strengthened. For example, in cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen, there are extensive subway networks that can reach most tourist attractions. At the same time, the integration of public transportation payment methods has been improved. Foreign tourists can use international bank cards or mobile payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat Pay in some cities to take buses and subways, making urban travel more convenient.
III. Tourism Service Facilitative Measures
Smart Tourism Platforms
The construction of smart tourism platforms allows tourists to obtain comprehensive tourism information more conveniently. Through mobile apps or official tourism websites, tourists can query information about scenic spots, including ticket prices, opening hours, real time tourist numbers, and recommended tour routes. For example, some scenic spots in China have launched their own official apps, where tourists can book tickets in advance, listen to audio visual tour guides, and participate in interactive experience activities.
Multilingual Service
In tourist related industries such as scenic spots, hotels, and transportation, multilingual services are widely provided. Staff can communicate with foreign tourists in languages such as English, French, German, Japanese, and Korean. Signage in scenic spots and public places is also marked in multiple languages, making it easier for foreign tourists to find their way and understand relevant regulations.
Quality Supervision and Complaint Handling
The Chinese government has strengthened the quality supervision of the tourism industry. Regular inspections are carried out on scenic spots, travel agencies, and hotels to ensure service quality and safety. At the same time, a convenient complaint handling mechanism has been established. Tourists can file complaints through multiple channels such as hotlines and online platforms, and relevant departments will respond and handle them in a timely manner to protect the legitimate rights and interests of tourists.
