Shanghai Sees 20% Inbound Surge on Visa-Free Rules

Shanghai reports a 20% jump in inbound arrivals as new visa-free rules take hold, drawing travelers from more countries for seamless stays up to 144 hours. Bustling streets pulse with visitors exploring the Bund's glittering skyline, Yu Garden's ancient serenity, and futuristic Pudong towers under relaxed entry policies. The policy boosts tourism to this megacity of contrasts, where high-speed maglev trains whisk arrivals to hidden shikumen lanes and street-food havens.
