　　Recently, "China Travel" has gained massive traction on global social media platforms, fueled by China's expansion of the list of visa-free countries, increased international flights, and a series of measures aimed at facilitating inbound tourism.

　　In the first half of this year, over 5 million inbound travelers used mobile payment, marking a fourfold increase compared with the same period in 2023, while over 90 million transactions were recorded, totaling more than 14 billion yuan (about 2 billion U.S. dollars), with both figures marking a sevenfold increase compared with the same period in the previous year.

　　Joey Sy, manager of Hyssop Travel, who has visited China three times and organized numerous trips for his clients, noted that China is safe as always and has become more convenient and comfortable for foreign tourists.

　　Praising China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy, Sy said that it would be very advantageous for American travelers seeking short visits to China. "The policy can reduce the cost and simplify procedures for visa application. It should be promoted to more travel agents and we will develop corresponding travel routes."
