Since China implemented the 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy in January 2013, the visa-free transit policy has played an important role in serving the country's high level of opening up to the outside world, facilitating the movement of people between China and foreign countries, and promoting exchanges and cooperation with the world. On July 15, 2024, the National Immigration Administration of China issued an announcement to expand the implementation of the 144-hour visa-free transit policy in Henan and Yunnan Provinces, which offers more options for foreigners to come to China for tourism and business.

After the release of the policy, overseas attention has continued to increase, and "China Travel" has become a popular search term on many overseas social media, setting off a "China Travel" craze around the world.
