South Korea will offer visa-free entry to tourist groups from China, for a temporary period from September 29 through June 2026.
Guizhou has also launched a 5-day tour route starting from Guiyang, connecting iconic attractions such as Huangguoshu Waterfall, the Xiaoqikong scenic spot, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village.
Meanwhile, supported by its 240-hour transit visa-free policy, it aims to attract more international tourists.
Guizhou Aviation Group stated that it will continue to expand routes across East Asia and Southeast Asia, aiming to build a more efficient air corridor to further open up the province to the world.
