The first "intangible cultural heritage version" of the Spring Festival, celebrated by the whole world and the five continents in the same spring. Experiencing the Chinese New Year in China "is one of the touching landscapes. Foreign tourists can often be seen in some scenes on China's high-speed trains and in scenic spots. Data shows that during this year's Spring Festival holiday, China received over 3.43 million inbound tourists from 175 countries and regions, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%. Since November 2023, China's transit visa free policy has been continuously adjusted and optimized. In 2024, the number of visa free entry foreigners in China will exceed 20110000, and the number of transit visa free policies will increase by 113.5% year on year. The CNN website commented that the visa free transit policy is a popular "clever" measure. The friendship between nations lies in people's matchmaking, and people's matchmaking lies in heart to heart communication. This is one of the countries that has left us with the best impression so far. The trip to China was the most wonderful trip of my life. Out of curiosity, I rushed; More understanding, more fascination. More and more foreign friends have seen a real, three-dimensional, and comprehensive China, felt a trustworthy, lovely, and respectable China, and have become narrators of Chinese stories and disseminators of Chinese voices, embodying the "Marco Polo of the new era". Let's take a look at today's China from the perspective of foreign tourists and see what kind of China it is. （1） This is a prosperous and developing China, expanding people's understanding and knowledge. Sitting on the high-speed train to see China, one can feel the richness, vastness, and rapid speed of the Chinese land in a fast, smooth, and comfortable manner. Traveling to China with a mobile phone, from mobile payment and online taxi hailing to online shopping and facial recognition, the digital lifestyle is full of modernity. I seem to have traveled back to the future, everything here is beyond imagination! China seems to have entered the technological life of 2030 ahead of schedule British travel blogger Hutchinson expressed this sentiment. "There are several groups of foreigners coming every day". At the Wuzhong Market in Shanghai, foreign tourists are impressed by the dazzling array of vegetables, fruits, meat and dry goods, to the precise measurement of electronic scales, clean and sanitary toilets, and the modern management of market life. Convenient and efficient drone delivery of food, intelligent and green modern buildings, 5G networks covering urban and rural areas, humanoid robots twisting yangko on the Spring Festival Gala stage... The new scenes of technology changing life have opened the eyes of foreign tourists. Behind their firsthand experience is China's continuously strengthening economic, technological, and comprehensive national strength. Safety is a label frequently mentioned by many foreign friends. A female blogger said that she likes the safety here, and women are not afraid to walk alone at night. This is the freedom of Chinese people. A foreign travel blogger conducted a small experiment by placing a computer and a backpack with money on a table in the store before leaving, and returning one hour later with the items intact. This is a China that has created two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability. China is recognized by the international community as one of the most secure countries, and 'Safe China' has become a shining 'national business card'. Today's China is full of active creation, and the hardworking Chinese people are working hard with wisdom and sweat for a better future. （2） This is a lovely and approachable China, dissolving the world's misunderstandings and prejudices. Many foreigners who come to China for the first time find that the scenery here is unforgettable; The local customs and traditions here bring joy to people, and are not as "backward" or "bad" as some Western media often report. Italian couple Antonio and Martina took advantage of the transit time to visit Chengdu - they took a 10 hour flight from Rome to Chengdu, China in the early morning, got off the plane and went straight to the Giant Panda Base, then went to Chen Mapo tofu Restaurant for lunch, and then went to Chengdu People's Park to drink Baba tea... In their view, China's traditional culture and modernization are amazing. The historical vicissitudes of "not being a hero until reaching the Great Wall", the natural beauty of "clear and sparkling water", the advanced technology of "shining stars, if you come out of it", and the humanistic sentiment of "wanting snow in the evening, drinking a cup of nothingness"... The ancient Eastern civilization and the vibrant modern atmosphere have "convinced" countless people. The China Inbound Tourism Development Report (2023-2024) points out that Chinese culture and good life experience constitute the core attraction of inbound tourism for foreigners. The combination of tradition and modernity, as well as the integration of culture and economy, is attracting more foreign tourists to transform from "first-time visitors" to "returning visitors". "The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is a continuation of the enthusiasm I feel from the Chinese people". An American tourist who tasted the authentic Chinese Year sighed, "The Chinese people love life very much and are willing to share good times with others". It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Enthusiasm and friendliness have always been the way for Chinese people to treat guests, and kindheartedness and good neighborliness have always been the philosophy of Chinese people. In the exchanges, communication, and integration between Chinese and foreign people, the world will further understand that China's rapid development is a growth in the power of world peace; On the path of modernization, we will have more and more 'fellow travelers'. （3） This is a confident and open China, demonstrating its determination and confidence in development. The visa free transit policy itself is a microcosm of China's confidence and openness. A foreign researcher believes that "this is another important measure for China to steadily expand its institutional opening-up". Focusing on "getting in", more than 110 measures have been introduced one after another, policies have been continuously relaxed and optimized, the stay time has been extended from 72 hours and 144 hours to 240 hours, the applicable ports have increased from 39 to 60, and the applicable provinces have expanded from 19 to 24... Focusing on "getting used to it", in March 2024, the State Council issued opinions to further optimize payment services and improve payment convenience. The People's Bank of China has improved the convenience for foreigners to come to China by expanding "foreign cards for internal use and outsourcing for internal use". From online to offline, from national borders to physical stores, comprehensive and full chain "invisible" services reflect a larger scope, wider field, and deeper level of openness, highlighting that "openness is a distinctive symbol of contemporary China". The website "Travel and Tourism World" in the United States observes and analyzes foreign tourists who "circle fans" during the Spring Festival, and believes that "as China becomes more open, it is expected that the number of international tourists visiting China will continue to grow". Can we control it if we let it go? At Nanjing Lukou International Airport, Weihai Dashuibo International Airport, and other places, smart travel inspection has shortened the clearance time and improved the passenger experience, ensuring that legal and compliant passengers pass through customs without any sense of risk. Thanks to the construction of smart customs and innovative management mechanisms, the intelligent barrier for national security has been continuously strengthened. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "We have the ability to do China's things well, but we don't have the ability to tell China's story well. We should have this confidence!" Inbound tourism is not only a component of economic activities, but also a way to confidently tell China's story with openness. From completely lifting foreign investment access restrictions in the manufacturing sector to accelerating the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port; From holding international exhibitions such as the China Expo and the China International Trade Fair, to promoting high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road"... "to be a practitioner of friendly cooperation, a promoter of mutual learning of civilizations, and a participant in building a community with a shared future for mankind", China has constantly provided new opportunities for the world with its new development. This is exactly China today. (New Society)
