When Will China Reopen for Tourism?58

China has been closed to international tourism since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The country has implemented strict border controls and quarantine measures to prevent the spread of the virus. As of August 2023, China has not yet announced a date for when it will reopen its borders to international tourists.

However, there are some indications that China may be preparing to reopen to tourism in the near future. In May 2023, the Chinese government announced that it would be issuing visas to foreign tourists for the first time since the pandemic began. The government also said that it would be increasing the number of flights between China and other countries.

In addition, several Chinese airlines have announced that they are planning to resume international flights in the coming months. For example, Air China has said that it will resume flights between Beijing and Los Angeles in September 2023. China Southern Airlines has also said that it will resume flights between Guangzhou and London in October 2023.

Despite these positive signs, there is still no guarantee that China will reopen to tourism in the near future. The Chinese government has said that it will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and make decisions about reopening based on the latest data. If the pandemic worsens, it is possible that China could delay its reopening plans.

If you are planning to travel to China, it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest travel restrictions. You should also be prepared to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in China. You can check the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in your country for the most up-to-date information on travel restrictions.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when planning your trip to China:
You will need to obtain a visa to enter China. You can apply for a visa at the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in your country.
You will need to have a valid passport that is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in China.
