Beijing had recorded nearly 940,000 border crossings by foreign nationals this year as of Monday, with over 236,000 entries facilitated by visa exemption policies, including the 240-hour visa-free transit, official data showed.
The total number of cross-border travelers at Beijing ports in 2025 had exceeded 4 million as of Monday, representing a year-on-year increase of 23 percent, according to the Beijing General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection.
The recent increase in China's inbound tourism is partly attributable to the continuous optimization of visa-free policies. To date, China has introduced unilateral visa-free policies for 38 countries, and implemented 240-hour transit visa-free arrangements for 54 countries.
