China expands visa-free transit to 10 days for travelers from 54 countries

China has expanded its visa-free transit policy, allowing international travelers from 54 countries to stay for up to 10 days in certain areas. This change, effective immediately, applies to travelers using 60 international ports. Previously, visa-free transit was limited to shorter stays within the same province. Now, visitors can explore 24 provincial regions, including new areas like Hainan and Guizhou. However, some provinces still restrict access to specific cities. Travelers must have a valid passport and a ticket to leave China within 10 days. While the policy aims to attract more tourists and business, some travelers find it restrictive compared to other countries' visa policies.
