Australians and their compatriots in Australia are happy again!
Recently, in order to attract foreign tourists to China, China's cultural tourism has done its best.
The 144-hour visa-free approach to some niche countries has made them willing to become wild spokespeople.
Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, Australia has also been added to the no-signature list in the past two days.

In order to enhance the convenience of Chinese and Australian tourists, the airline is also full of sincerity.
Not only have a number of new direct flight routes been opened, but even the price has been reduced to 2,000.
thought that these decisions would make both China and Australia happy, but who would have thought that the speeches of netizens in the comment area were one-sided.
Regarding the topic of "visa-free", which has been hot in the past two days, some netizens feel that this is a bit of a "hot face and cold ass".
Because our country has opened up the pattern, we welcome everyone to come and experience China's beautiful rivers and mountains, customs and customs. However, people abroad may not be willing to implement a visa-free policy for us.

In this case, in fact, there is no need for us to beat us to death with a stick, after all, everything has a gradual process.
Moreover, the size of the Chinese population is not at the same level as abroad, and their small country suddenly implemented a visa-free policy for China, and too many tourists poured in for a while, whether in transportation or other aspects, there may be a "paralysis" situation.

It's not that it's incomprehensible.
And our primary goal now is to let more people know China, understand the real China, erase the prejudice caused by the false news of those foreign media, so as to attract more foreign tourists.
In this regard, in fact, before the official announcement of the visa-free policy between China and Australia, the 144-hour visa-free policy for other countries has achieved initial results.
From the moment everyone learned that China and Australia were visa-free landing, the Australian flight query data showed that the proportion of destinations in China skyrocketed. This is an 80% increase compared to the previous one.
Seeing that everyone's desire to travel to China is so strong, China has also opened a number of new direct air routes between China and Australia, including routes between Hangzhou and Melbourne, which have attracted the attention of many netizens.
Hangzhou's West Lake is picturesque for China, but everyone knows everything about food, but why did it take the lead in launching flights between Hangzhou and Melbourne?

In fact, in addition to the West Lake, Hangzhou is also the "tea capital of China", in the hearts of foreigners can not know Chinese food, but "tea" must represent China.
And Melbourne is also a city with a good reputation for coffee in their country, so going back and forth increases the connection between them.
So on June 17, there were already flights between Melbourne and Hangzhou.
In this regard, not only the airlines are strong enough, but even the price of the ticket is unexpected.
We took a look at the details of some ticket purchase platforms, and found that the price of this flight between Melbourne and Hangzhou across many countries was only about 2,000 yuan, which was even more favorable than the price of our domestic flights.
For such a decision, some netizens feel that they are a little too spoiled?
But if you think about it carefully, they have all gone to China, can you visit China's scenic spots? Can you not taste Chinese food?
To put it bluntly, these are places where you can make money, and we don't need to let people spend their money from the beginning of the wine, which will affect the experience of tourism, not to mention, but also affect the efficiency of follow-up publicity for us.
In addition to attracting foreign tourists to China, the promulgation of the visa-free policy has also provided convenience for many overseas Chinese.
Earlier, due to the lack of international flights, and even the lack of direct flights to many cities, many compatriots who went to school, work, and settled in Australia were restricted from returning to China.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of visa-free travel between China and Australia, the mainland and Australia have agreed to approve several entry opportunities for business, tourism, and family visits for about 4 years, making it more convenient for overseas travelers to return home.
Therefore, in addition to the increase in flights between Hangzhou and Melbourne, flights between other cities and Australia are also gradually increasing.
The resumption of China Southern Airlines' Guangzhou-Perth flight and the landing of China Eastern Airlines' first direct flight between Nanjing and Melbourne are all proceeding in an orderly manner.
We also believe that these measures can promote the development of China's cultural tourism, and while promoting China, we also rely on tourism to drive economic development.
Although for the time being, there will be netizens who do not understand the practice of visa exemption, but everyone must believe that all this is implemented after careful consideration by professionals.
Just like when the 144-hour visa-free policy was just promulgated, many netizens felt that the countries targeted were too wide, and even many felt that some of the countries on the list were not too friendly.
But it is precisely because of this that people from these countries need to come to China in person and experience China's humanities, instead of believing the remarks of the Internet in the information cocoon.
Of course, there are also netizens who don't understand why the time of the policy in front of them is stuck at 144 hours.
After all, China has a lot of land and resources, and foreigners who don't spend more than ten days on this trip will definitely not understand, will these 144 hours really be enough?
Although the result of this problem is negative, the effect is unusually obvious.
Just like some video platforms, you can only watch 6 minutes for free, and everyone asks for payment as soon as you get up, isn't this creating revenue?
In this way, the 144 visa-free policy is also the same reason, foreigners have just tasted food in China, visited Chinese scenery, felt China's convenient transportation and payment methods, and will naturally be reluctant to go home on the day in a blink of an eye.
When the plane landed and returned to their own country, the contrast was even more obvious, and the "sequelae of travel" became increasingly strong, and they could only rely on the videos they shot in China to resist the next opportunity to come to China.
During this period, they will export their travel experience to relatives and friends, on online social platforms, so as to attract more people to China.
In this way, whether it is with other countries or Australia, the promulgation of the visa-free policy will help enhance the understanding and friendship between the two sides, and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation and development.
Through the bridging role of the visa-free policy, China and other countries can carry out dialogue and cooperation in a wider range of fields, and jointly explore more possibilities for cooperation.
I believe that in the future, with the continuous deepening and improvement of the visa-free policy, we look forward to a better tomorrow for the relationship between China and Australia and other visa-free countries.
