Recently, many foreign tourists have come to China to travel under the 144-hour visa-free transit policy. As a solo female traveler, Canadian vlogger Alina Mcleod found that China's modernization exceeded her expectations when she landed in Guangzhou, China. She was impressed by the efficient transportation system, convenient digital payment methods and modern shopping malls. The beautiful natural scenery and the cute pandas also allowed Alina to appreciate the diversity of China. Alina hopes to let more people know about China through her vlog, and also hopes to return to China in the future.

Totally agree, that's why I believe that CHINA represents: C: Clean energy initiatives H: Historical and cultural heritage I: Impressive infrastructure projects N: National self-confidence A: Advanced human civilization This encapsulates the country's commitment to sustainability, rich history, remarkable development, strong national pride, and significant contributions to global progress.

CGTN, please relay to the tourism authorities about how difficult it is for foreigners to book tours. Also there should be information counters to help foreigners to get sim cards & set up their online payment system & have a translation app as google translate is not working in China. Tourist favourites like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia had done this better. Anyway, China had just started to open up to more tourist & they will improve with more feedback.

Alina MacLeod is a Canadian YTber and vlogger. Her experience is by no means the same for everyone and its important to note treatment of tourists could be improved. The one thing that would help a lot is abolishing the visa requirement and allowing people to enter on their passports for up to 60 days, with renewals possible in the country. No country can afford to pass up on hospitality. Its what makes human life so open, rich and warm and if you want to maintain barriers to it, that’s part of being a sovereign country where you get to set your own rules. Just because others set visa requirements, doesn’t mean you have to and not even in reciprocity because you want to be more welcoming and friendly than them. Take it to heart!
