I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry!
During this time, the Korean media has repeatedly reported where the Chinese tourists have gone? For example, some Korean media lamented that Chinese tourists did not come to South Korea, causing duty-free shops to be on the verge of closure, and Korean media began to "lick" Chinese tourists, praising Chinese tourists for their higher and higher quality and being very civilized.
South Korea has also issued a special document to rectify some tourism chaos for Chinese tourists, such as the closure of travel agencies that force Chinese tourists to shop.
You must know that South Korea is the "first power in the universe" and has always been a very arrogant existence, but why did it suddenly "lick" Chinese tourists?
In fact, the root cause of South Korea's actions is that the number of Chinese tourists visiting South Korea has decreased significantly in the past two years, which makes South Korea "anxious"!
You must know that more than half a year has passed this year, but the number of mainland tourists visiting South Korea is only 2 million, and the number of Chinese tourists visiting South Korea in the first half of 2023 is only 540,000!
You must know that before the epidemic, more than 6 million people in the mainland traveled to South Korea in 2019! In 2016, more than 8 million Chinese tourists visited South Korea!
Although the number of Chinese traveling to South Korea is decreasing, the number of Koreans visiting the mainland is quite large!
Unlike foreigners from other countries who run around after China, Korean tourists really have a soft spot for Zhangjiajie, which can be said to be "the mountains of Zhangjiajie are full of Koreans"!
According to statistics, in the first two months of this year, among the more than 100,000 inbound tourists received by Zhangjiajie, South Korean tourists accounted for 43%!
Not only Koreans, but foreigners from all over the world are crazy to China!
In the first half of the year alone, 14.635 million foreigners came to China to check in, eat, drink and have fun!
Many foreigners are dumbfounded, China's development can be described as a rapid progress, is this still the China in their mouths?
(Due to the update of the platform, there are 5 seconds to unlock ads in the article, no need to watch it, just click in for 5 seconds, you can continue to watch the article, thank you for your understanding!) ）
The reason why tens of millions of foreigners have come to China is that the mainland has opened a 144-hour visa-free policy for more than 50 countries, and to put it bluntly, as long as you pick up your passport and air ticket, you can fly to China for six days.
For those foreigner bloggers, this operation of the mainland can't refuse at all!
Because under the smear of the Western media, the mainland has always been labeled as "dirty and messy" in the eyes of many foreigners, which is similar to India!
Therefore, many foreign bloggers are ready to take advantage of the mainland's 144-hour visa-free policy to come to the mainland to shoot what they think is a "backward" country to earn traffic!
As a result, they did earn a lot of traffic, but they also really "opened their eyes"! The Western media has painstakingly operated the "smear" for decades, but they didn't expect it to be "lost" in just a few months!
When these foreigners set foot on this ancient oriental country for the first time, it was like traveling to the world 100 years later.
The subway station we are accustomed to can make them scream again and again, nice, nice and non-stop; The level of luxury of the public toilets is unbelievable, and amazing, amazing!
After all, in foreign countries, the subway station is the favorite of the homeless, because here, eating, drinking, and Lazar can all be solved on the subway.
What surprises foreigners even more is the places of interest and historic sites in various places, and the scenery of these beautiful rivers and mountains alone can make them call "my God"!
In this part of eating, foreigners have no power to parry, after all, in foreign countries, all dry bread is almost constipated;
In the mainland, our food can be described as a wide variety, everything, not only the color, flavor, and taste, but also the selection of materials is also taboo, basically anything can be eaten!
The most important thing is that the price is still very cheap, and many foreigners say that the most dangerous place in China is the night market, because you can gain 2 pounds if you are not careful!
And at night, the brightly lit and lively nightlife on the mainland directly makes foreigners collectively break the defense!
In the early morning of a big city, the streets are still full of people, and various stores are still operating, and the sense of happiness is full! After all, in many Western countries, it is not necessary to go out at night, because the street is full of homeless people, if they are unlucky, they will be empty!
In addition to these things to eat and play, our technology tree also directly shocked the foreigners!
Take mobile payment as an example, the domestic digital economy has long covered the whole country, and we have long been accustomed to it, but foreigners are extremely surprised, incredible, like going out to eat, taking a taxi, buying tickets in scenic spots, a mobile phone can do it all, and some platforms also have very detailed strategies, so that you have the feeling of "a machine in hand, I have the world"!
There was a foreigner who ordered takeout and found that it was a drone delivery, and he was instantly shocked and couldn't close his mouth, and a pair of Korean father and daughter took the train and found that they could order takeout, which was very magical.
There are also foreigners who feel that 144 hours is completely insufficient, and they have even come up with a solution, which is to take a flight to a nearby country for a turn, and then fly back to have another 144 hours to use......
I have to say that in the past, Chinese went out to consume, but now foreigners are lining up to travel and send money to China, which is the most uncomfortable for foreign countries.
Nowadays, the topic of China Travel on the Internet has become a traffic password.
As long as foreigners post videos about Chinese tourism, they will quickly become popular! And the foreigners who saw the video also said that they were deceived by the media, and China is not what they look like under their lens at all!
We just made a move to get a 144-hour visa-free, and directly let the foreigners who come to China become our "strongest mouthpiece", without spending 1 cent and 1 millimeter, and we have our own great Confucianism to argue for me!
If you want me to say, this is a kind of return to self-confidence, we no longer worship foreign countries, no longer obsessed with outbound travel, but foreigners are "on top" of China.
