China has introduced a 240-hour visa-free transit policy, which allows citizens from 55 countries to enter China visa-free when transiting to a third country or region.

The travelers can arrive through 60 ports across 24 provinces, regions, and municipalities and stay within the designated areas for up to 240 hours (10 days).

Under the new policy, international travelers entering Shanghai can also visit 23 other provincial-level regions across the country.
