From ancient wonders to modern malls—China is fast becoming every traveller’s ultimate destination

China’s inbound tourism is booming, with 9.2 million foreign visitors recorded in Q1 2025—a 40.2% rise from last year. Travellers are flocking to explore cultural treasures like the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, and southern water towns. Shopping has also become a key draw, thanks to tax refund policies and sought-after local goods.

Visa-free access, rising international flights, and the “Instant Tax Refund” scheme are fuelling this surge. Notably, China is expanding international routes beyond major cities. As regional hubs grow, destinations like Tianjin are gaining attention from global visitors.
