Guangzhou Announces 72-Hour Visa-Free Stay

Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong Province and the third largest city in China, will allow transit passengers from 45 countries to stay in the city for 72 hours without a visa, similar to the new policy announced in Beijing and Shanghai.

Guangzhou is an important center in south China, with a large airport that sees thousands of international passenger arrivals each day via China Southern Airlines. Situated on the Pearl River, Guangzhou is an active city with a mix of traditional sights and modern-day attractions – and is certainly worth visiting while in China.
