The city of Guilin in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is expected to become the ninth Chinese city to offer international transit passengers 72-hour visa-free stays. Under the plan, transit travelers are allowed to freely visit Guilin, famous for its picturesque scenery and karst mountains.
The visa-free scheme will take effect on July 28. The same policy is already in place in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenyang and Dalian.
