Climb the Great Wall of China to admire the majestic scenery; stroll along the central axis of Beijing and immerse yourself in the ancient Chinese civilization; stroll along the Liangmahe River embankment with an international atmosphere to enjoy the city’s nightlife charm… More than 270 tour operators from over 40 countries and regions around the world recently gathered in Beijing to “discover Beijing” for 48 hours and fully experience the dynamics and energy of China travel.
“This is my first visit to Beijing and China, everything here pleasantly surprises me!” exclaims Anya from Munich, filming what she saw on her mobile phone. She told reporters that she was very impressed by climbing the Great Wall of China, listening to the Kunqu opera and tasting Peking duck. “I am so glad that I came here. Next year I hope to visit China with my family to discover even more interesting things,” she said.
From June 1 to 2, the Beijing Cultural and Tourism Administration invited tour operators from the United States, Britain, France, Italy and other countries to get acquainted with new tourism products, locations and services in the capital of the PRC.
As China continues to optimize its entry policy and expand the list of countries whose citizens can enter China without a visa, “China travel” is becoming increasingly popular, and “China shopping” is becoming a new fashion trend. Since the beginning of this year, Beijing’s inbound tourism has shown accelerated growth, with the number of tourists and their consumption rates increasing sharply. Data show that Beijing received 1.46 million foreign tourists from January to April this year, up 57.1% year-on-year.
The 2025 Beijing Inbound Tourism Development Conference focuses on topics such as transportation, payment, accommodation, shopping, entertainment and technology, and introduces overseas tour operators to services and innovative products aimed at facilitating inbound tourism.
According to the information provided, Beijing will continuously expand its tourism products such as world heritage tours, hutong tours, night city tours and other specialized and immersive tourism products. Ten themed inbound tourism routes will be launched to enrich the diversity of tourism products and meet the needs of different markets and tourist groups.
“Some American tourists are not familiar with China, and the new measures taken by Beijing will help them travel around the city more conveniently,” said Justin Lipsky from the United States. “I like to visit places like the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Drum Tower and Wangfujing Street, where you can experience the unique history and culture of Beijing. I will also recommend these places to tourists from the United States.”
