International tourists have voiced high praise for China's diverse landscapes and quality products, with many expressing a strong willingness to revisit the country.
To make shopping easier and more convenient for overseas travelers, China further optimizes its departure tax refund measures.
At the departure tax refunds site in the Beijing Capital International Airport, Anna from Portugal showed sets of China cheongsam she had bought, and her companion picked up some electronics made by Chinese brands.
"For me, it's the best brand for this type of product. They also make drones that are very high quality. My watch, this is made in China. My phone, it's also from Xiaomi," her companion said.
Deeply immersive experiences in traditional Chinese culture have become a top priority for many international tourists. Among these, theatrical performances are proving to be a compelling and intuitive window into the cultural heart of China.
At an immersive theater complex in Zhongmu County of Zhengzhou, central China's Henan Province, an Austrian visitor exclaimed his fascination with the theater's architecture.
"It is absolutely a fantastic building and it is amazing that, actually, something like this exists," he said.
According to international travel agencies, many travelers to China are highly impressed with the experience of traveling around China by high-speed train.
"They love the speed, they love the cleanliness, they love the efficiency, they love how fast the train goes, because some of our customers have apps and they can see that they're traveling twice as fast as their trains in the UK," said Jimmy Macklin, a customer manager at a travel agency.
For visitors who are discovering the natural beauty and cultural charm for the first time, the ease of their travels -- enabled by visa-free policies and seamless mobile payment -- often draws them back for a return trip.
"I absolutely love China because it's an amazing, incredible country. My last visit was only in May. I went to Xi'an and did Xining overnight train to Lhasa which was a really nice experience and absolutely loved Tibet. And also the Yangtze River cruise. It's an absolutely incredible engineering feat. It's a credit to how the modern marvels are in China. Obviously, I'd like to do more traveling to China. I'm going to do the Silk Road in May next year again," said Urvil, a British tourist.
