According to media reports, with China implementing visa free policies for countries such as South Korea, a new trend of "coming to China after work on Fridays for weekends" has emerged in South Korea. In the report, it can be seen that Shanghai is now filled with Korean tourists, and their figures can be seen everywhere. This news is reflected in the data. According to data from multiple tourism platforms, since the implementation of China's unilateral visa free policy for South Korea, the popular cities for South Korean tourists entering China are Shanghai, Qingdao, Beijing, etc. The number of South Korean inbound tourist orders in Shanghai has increased by over 180% year-on-year and over 40% month on month. South Korean tourists visiting Shanghai to enjoy the scenery have, to some extent, become "scenery" themselves - Chinese netizens also observe their journeys, such as which attractions they visit, what food they eat, how they communicate with Chinese people, and what kind of travel notes they leave on social media, all of which have become materials for online discussions. In fact, this is the meaning of openness, any kind of openness is ultimately two-way. Tourists observe the scenery, and people are also observing tourists. In this process, people construct a world coordinate system in their minds and gain an international context. Seeing curious foreign tourists on the streets, in this feedback, people actually have the opportunity to self confirm. It is worth noting that in this wave of enthusiasm, the media intentionally or unintentionally highlighted a kind of "relaxation" in their reports. For example, many Korean tourists come for the weekend after work on Fridays and follow their travel notes on social media platforms. This also highlights a certain truth about the modern world: with the development of modern technology, theoretically the Earth has become "narrow", and traditionally distant distances are now within reach. So, along with it, as long as it is accompanied by policy convenience, people from all over the world can easily and freely visit each other, which is the norm and a way of life in the context of globalization. According to media reports, South Korea is currently considering implementing a visa free policy for a certain range of Chinese group tourists. From this, it can be seen that the increasingly convenient public visits in the future can already be anticipated. Not only South Korea, but also with the expansion of visa free policies and the promotion of entry facilitation measures, "China Travel" is becoming increasingly popular. At present, China has implemented or will soon implement unilateral visa free policies for 38 countries including France and Germany, while comprehensively relaxing and optimizing the visa free policies for transit. Not only will transit visa free foreigners stay in China for 240 hours (10 days) from the original 72 hours and 144 hours, 21 new ports will be added as entry and exit ports for transit visa free people, but also further expand the area of stay activities, expanding the area of stay activities in Hubei, Fujian and Shaanxi provinces to the whole province. The policy changes have had an immediate effect. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, as of December 15th this year, the passenger volume of international routes has exceeded 60 million, a year-on-year increase of over 130%, and has recovered to about 88% of the same period in 2019. According to data from tourism platforms, as of now, the growth rate of inbound tourism in China has more than doubled compared to 2023, and the growth rate of inbound tourism in 54 visa free countries has exceeded the market, with a year-on-year increase of 189% compared to 2023. These impressive achievements demonstrate China's level of openness and attractiveness, and of course, will also generate huge economic benefits. In addition, this intensive communication also has an intangible effect on the Chinese people - in observation and communication, it reshapes people's open national mentality and makes them more aware of what "we live in the world" means. I also look forward to more frequent and intensive international exchanges in the future. Mutual recognition and appreciation is a beautiful scenery that is worth savoring. (New Society)
