During this year’s May Day holiday, China’s popular tourist cities will become “international stages”. Foreign faces may be seen everywhere — on streets, in parks, and at scenic spots. Online travel platforms reported a 173% increase in international tourist bookings compared to last year. Visitors from South Korea, Japan, and Singapore will be the most common.

____△____ First, China has amazing travel choices. Tourists can explore historical sites like the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Army, enjoy modern skylines in Shanghai, taste spicy hotpot in Chongqing, or visit natural wonders like Zhangjiajie. There’s something for everyone! Second, China has made travel easier. Visa (签证) rules are simpler now, and more foreigners can visit without a visa. Public transportation is convenient, and foreign visitors can use mobile payments or credit cards in most shops. Many say China’s digital services, like ordering food by scanning (扫描) QR codes, make trips smooth. Third, social media plays a big role. Foreign influencers post videos about China’s culture, food, and technology, inspiring others to visit.

The rise in foreign tourists brings good results. Hotels, restaurants, and tour guides are busier than ever, helping local businesses grow. It’s also a chance to share Chinese culture. Foreign tourists experience traditional Chinese culture through traditional activities, and when they return home, they become “cultural ambassadors (大使)”, helping more people understand the real China.
