LONG-HAUL RECOVERY The recent surge in tourism comes after China closed its borders in early 2020 to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and kept them shut until the start of 2023. But even with the visa-free policy boost, far fewer tourists are coming to China now than before the pandemic. According to official tourism data, China received a total of 49.1 million overseas visitors in 2019, with more than a third coming in for sightseeing and leisure. Revenue from international tourism reached $131.3 billion that year. In the first half of 2024, the number of foreign nationals entering China was far lower at 14.6 million. Among them, 8.5 million entered visa-free, accounting for just over half of the total, according to the National Immigration Administration.

A friendly Chinese man who donated and assisted with subway tickets. Mr.ANXIOUS didn't show any gratitude? It is difficult to understand why Chinese people are so kind, friendly, eager to help others and know how to give money and charity to help others. This is the Chinese standard Confucian culture and ideological inheritance that cannot be found in the world.

[@X-H-Wu]

Instead, this man thought he was lucky. Britain follows US in banning Confucious while Confucious is actually a means to solve the yob and violence in the long run.

[@MultiMyNickName]

Its very easy to understand if you live in China. Especially if you ever experience how the kids are, to a child in China everyone is brother, sister, auntie or uncle, that is how they call everyone and that is how they see everything around them, so for a Chinese person to help someone its normal, they consider other people to be extended family to them. its why Chinese culture is so peaceful and why the people live so well together, they are family not just neighbors. While the Western people all hate on China and Chinese people, Chinese people look at the world as extended family and dont have hate for anyone.

When taking the subway in China, your phone must be charged! One of my friend's phones ran out of battery, and he couldn't take the subway. He had to ask for help from people around him, who generously bought him a ticket! Yes, the ticket is not expensive, usually 3-15 yuan! Chinese people have such a mindset that anyone who goes out will encounter difficulties. If you help others today, someone will help you tomorrow when you encounter difficulties!

About camera, u generally can film everything in Chinese public spaces, including the streets/public transit/tourist areas/shops and restaurants. Unless there is sign that states no camera allowed(which is uncommon), u are free to film or take photos. However, it is another story when you are having one on one conversations with the locals. Some wouldn't mind being film, some would dislike being film. It is just personal preference. Just kindly ask if they mind being filmed and don't be rude about it.

what E sim did you use ??

[@marinoint]

China has been using digital payment for many years, and visa requirement is also something you should have researched before you head to China.

[@AmirMalikTravel]

I love the digital payment!

Amir did express thankfulness to most of the helping hands... Perhaps he got a shock the man helped him to pay the fare... Its ok Amir...

[@eagol]

can you imagine I took Line 2 from Pudong Airport to downtown more than a decade ago and it cost me CNY7.00. Nowadays the fare is still CNY7.00, about USD1.00 for an 1 hour metro ride. where on earth you can match this price with same standard of services?

[@AmirMalikTravel]

Wow that is crazy!! Everywhere else in the world prices have gone up!

[@eagol]

@@AmirMalikTravel Yap that's true my friend. I stayed in Shanghai from 2007 to mid 2010 then moved to Macau. But still made some short trips back to Shanghai every month or two. That's why I can take subway Line 2 to my hotel in Nanjing Road East Station, which is one stop ahead of Peoples Park Station. BTW, there were some night road side stalls ran by Muslims from Xinjiang selling barbecue lamb / beef meat around that areas. Not sure if they are still there. But one thing for sure, there are quite a few Muslim in Shanghai, and trust it won't be difficult to find Halal food. Besides, if you need to do some prayers in Shanghai, just Google "mosque in Shanghai"....

其实我不喜欢这样，这样对政府的压力太大了，也不利于公平，票价应该多少还是应该多少，以保障交通系统能独立运行，而不是需要地方财政不停的补贴。

[@eagol]

@@张三-u6o the ultimate goal is to encourage public transportation n taking care the low income group. I just took line 2 from century boulevard to pudong airport this afternoon n took a flight to hong kong, it cost me CNY 6.00. But there's not too much passengers. Trust the richer person won't bother to spend an hour to get to airport.
