Since March 1, 2016, Suriname has implemented a policy of applying for tourist cards for Chinese citizens traveling to the Soviet Union. Chinese citizens can travel with a valid passport and a combined ticket with a reserved seat.
Chinese citizens traveling to Suriname can apply for a tourist card with an ordinary passport and a return ticket valid for more than half a year at all ports of the Suriname Capital Airport and all ports of land border between the Soviet Union and Guyana and French Guiana, without the need to apply for a visa in advance. The card costs $100, is valid for one entry, and lasts for 90 days without extension. Chinese citizens visiting Suriname for purposes other than tourism are still required to apply for relevant visas in advance in accordance with the original regulations.
I feel that the gold content of the Chinese passport is a little more, not to mention that it is still a South American country, but it seems that it has not heard much, so what kind of country is Suriname?
The smallest country in South America
The Republic of Suriname (Dutch: Republiek Suriname) is located in the north of South America, the name of the country is derived from the local indigenous people, bordering French Guiana to the east, Brazil to the south, Guyana to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Suriname is the smallest country in South America in terms of area and population, and it is also the only person in the western hemisphere who does not belong to the composition of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the only person who uses Dutch as the official language. The capital, Paramaribo, is a commercial port at the mouth of the Suriname River. Dutch is the official language and Surinamese is spoken. Each ethnic group has its own language. Suriname, which is about 90% forested, is the country with the largest forest cover in Central America and is therefore one of the largest forested countries in the world.
【Food& Drink】
Suriname's diet brings together the essence and unique tastes of the world's cuisines, from the Netherlands, India, South Africa to the Jewish region. Offering dozens of national cuisines, Suriname's extensive menu is an excellent choice for those who like to try fresh and exotic cuisine. The main food of the local residents of Suriname is rice, pork, poultry, fish and shrimp, seafood and various vegetables and fruits, and the main drinks are beer and fruit wine.
Internationally popular meals in Suriname are mainly served in large restaurants, often with the flavor of Dutch food. The main local specialties are chicken stuffed dim sum, chicken or steak rice, green beans, potatoes, shredded chicken soup and mashed plantain peanut soup. Because Suriname is an agricultural country with the world's largest automated farm and a variety of vegetables, fruits, and many fish and shrimp, the food ingredients are very rich. Visitors can try the 64-course banquet-style Indonesian buffet.

Town of Albina
The town of A1bina, located in northeastern Suriname, is home to not only jungle blacks but also indigenous Indians. Voodoo fire dances can sometimes be seen on the way.
【Transportation】
airlift
As of 2014, the capital of Suriname has an international airport that can take off and land 747 Technology, with four international routes. Other airports and airstrips are only available for small short take-off and landing aircraft. At present, Suriname has opened routes from Paramaribo to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Miami in the United States, Aruba, Belém in Brazil, and Georgetown in Guyana.
railway
As of 2014 there are no passenger railways in Suriname. Suriname's plans to develop a rail network to make it easier for people to access the interior by rail are not very mature as of 2013. In 1903-1912, Suriname built 173 km of railways connecting the inland gold-mining region with the capital Paramaribo, but the railways were abandoned. There are no rail links with neighboring countries.
highway
As of September 2014, the total length of Suriname's roads is 4470 km, of which 990 km are asphalt roads, 190 km are cement brick roads, and the remaining 3290 km are sand roads. The main public road runs through the east and west, linking Alpina and Nickley. The Gobennan Bridge, completed in July 1999, connects the capital Paramaribo with the western Nikri region. The Suriname River Bridge, completed in May 2000, connects the capital to the eastern region.
Water
Suriname's main port is the Nieuwe Haven port in Paramaribo, through which 90% of imports and exports enter and leave. The total length of the navigable river is about 1500 km. The capital, Paramaribo, is the main port. Ferries run to Guyana and French Guiana.
The important problem is that there is no direct route from China to Suriname, so it takes at least 20 hours to go.
