China is an ancient civilization, and I have always longed for it. After hearing that China exempts Norwegian citizens from visas, my friends and I immediately included China in our 'travel wish list'. "At the Norwegian Tourism Exhibition, which opened on the 10th, a girl from Norland County in northern Norway, Anneken Antzberg, told reporters that she was about to leave for Beijing and came to the exhibition to 'learn from the experience'. On January 10th, at the Norwegian Tourism Exhibition held in Lillestr ö m, Norway, exhibitors took a photo with the staff of the "Hello! China" booth. Zhang Yuliang, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, photographed Antzberg, who is full of expectations for his trip to China. At the "Hello! China" booth of the tourism exhibition, Chinese Ambassador to Norway Hou Yue transformed into a "tourism promotion ambassador" and introduced Beijing's scenic spots to Antzberg. I have always loved Chinese food, and this is my first time going to China. I hope to taste authentic Chinese cuisine in China, "said Antzberg. According to Pan Hang, the organizer of the exhibition booth and assistant director of the China Tourism Office in London, the organization has set up a unique Chinese style exhibition area at the exhibition to comprehensively promote China's inbound tourism facilitation policies and measures to tourism practitioners from all over the world and people from Nordic countries. Ola Ronaid, Senior Advisor of the Norwegian National Tourism Board who visited the booth, said that the Chinese government's 30 day visa free entry policy for Norwegian citizens has been implemented since November last year, and Hainan Airlines' Beijing Oslo international route is also planned to resume in March this year. He believes that these measures will greatly promote friendly exchanges between tourists from the two countries. The visa free policy has greatly increased Norwegian tourists' interest in China Zhang Liming, an exhibitor and tourism practitioner specializing in receiving Norwegian tourists to China, introduced that since the implementation of China's visa free policy for Norwegian citizens in November last year, he has received a significant increase in the number of Norwegian tourist groups and more inquiries. The Norwegian Tourism Exhibition is an important tourism professional exhibition in the Nordic region, aimed at practitioners and the public. This year's Norwegian Tourism Exhibition will be held from January 10th to 12th in Lillestr ö m, near the capital Oslo. To further facilitate the exchange of personnel between China and foreign countries, China has decided to expand the scope of visa free countries and implement visa free policies for ordinary passport holders from Norway and other countries. From November 30, 2024 to December 31, 2025 Beijing time, China's unilateral visa free policy for Norway will be expanded to include business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, transit, and exchange visits to China. The visa free stay period will be extended to 30 days. (New Society)
