China has experienced a significant increase in incoming international tourists in 2026, a development closely linked to the country’s visa-free travel policies. These eased entry regulations have made visiting China more accessible for foreign travelers, contributing to a revival in tourism nationwide.

Beijing remains a central destination benefiting from this rise in visitor numbers. The capital city has seen growing interest from travelers originating from various countries, including the United States, Russia, Turkey, and South Korea. This influx highlights Beijing’s role as a key hub in China’s expanding tourism landscape under the relaxed visa policies.
