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.
