Driven by the expansion of the visa-free policy and the tax refund policy, "China Travel" continues to gain popularity. Data shows that in the first half of this year, 13.64 million foreign nationals entered China visa-free, a year-on-year increase of 53.9%. As foreigners dive deep into the experiences of traveling and shopping in China, what destinations abroad are worth checking out for Chinese tourists?
In the first episode of the China-Belgium Connection, Tobias, a Belgian who has lived in Shanghai for over a decade, recommends his hometown of Brussels, Belgium, for travelers interested in "Belgian Travel." His top picks include the Grand Place, the Manneken Pis statue, and museums with diverse themes. Additionally, he suggests the quieter city of Ghent, with its charming bridges and canals, as a hidden gem for a more serene experience.
For foreigners embarking on their first "China Travel," Tobias highly recommends Shanghai for its blend of Eastern and Western cultures. Other must-visit cities include Beijing, Xi'an, and Guangzhou, each rich in history and culture. With a civilization spanning five thousand years, China has far too many fascinating places to explore! Tobias exclaims: "One trip to China definitely isn't enough!"
