Tourists may get 3-day visit window.

Saw this in China Daily today.

 

Couple uses, short tour, or even a quick visit to a loved one.

 

Another option I could see is fly into Beijing, and the apply for a longer visitor's visa there rather than having to apply for a visa before visiting China.

 

Visa-free entry for Beijing under discussion

 

Beijing is considering allowing foreign tourists a 72-hour window to explore the capital without a visa.

Fu Zhenghua, the city's director of public security, has confirmed that authorities are mulling over the move, saying it would represent a crucial sign that Beijing is open to the world.

 

Lin Song at the public security bureau’s exit-entry administration echoed that view on Sunday. "It's expected that the project will attract more tourists from abroad."

 

Neither the bureau nor the Beijing Tourism Development Committee, which proposed the policy, would offer more details about the visa window when contacted by China Daily.
