In addition, certain regions in China have introduced more flexible, localized visa-free policies. For example, Hainan Province grants visa-free entry to travelers from nearly 60 countries; visitors arriving at port cities such as Dalian and Guangzhou via cruise ships are also eligible for visa-free entry; and group travelers entering through Hong Kong and Macao may enjoy visa-free access within designated areas.
