Guangdong rolls out the red carpet to the world: Come and celebrate Chinese New Year!

As winter sets in and the Chinese New Year approaches, Guangdong is rolling out the red carpet for travelers from around the world. To celebrate the recent extension of China's visa-free transit policy—allowing international visitors up to 240 hours of visa-free stay—the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangdong Province hosted two vibrant pop-up events on December 18 and 20. The events took place at Beijing Daxing International Airport and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, offering a dynamic showcase of Lingnan culture and a heartfelt invitation to spend the Spring Festival in Guangdong.
