Visit China After it Dropped Quarantine Requirements for International Arrivals!

Do you know that China dropped its quarantine requirements for international arrivals starting January 8th? How long has it been since you’ve been to the beautiful country?
 
Next time when you visit the country, it’s suggested that you choose these following emerging cities rather than Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou! 
 

 
Chongqing, known as the Mountain City
 
It’s hard to see such a magical 8-dimensional city on the Chinese mainland, where every view is cyberpunk. In Chongqing, you probably won’t need Google Maps because you can only trust your own eyes. Even the GPS can get lost in this Mountain City. You may be standing on someone else’s roof when you look down from the “first floor”. 
 

 
Changsha, known as the Star City
 
Renowned for its entertainment, the city of Changsha has always been a must-visit place for those who are into great food and amusement. Changsha not only has a vibrant night market of bars, but it also has temples with a long history and rich culture. There are also novel flavors of Chinese food, such as crayfish and stinky tofu, and a variety of colors mixed together to create the unique charm of Changsha.
