Yes, it is a good time for Canadians to visit China as visa-free travel is set to begin for Canadian citizens. This change will allow Canadians to stay in China for up to 30 days without a visa, which is beneficial for tourism, business, and family visits. The new policy is part of a broader strategic partnership between Canada and China, focusing on trade, energy, agri-food, and other areas where both nations can benefit. Canadians will need to complete an arrival card upon arrival, and the latest travel advisories should be reviewed before departure.
Is China safe as a tourist destination?
Yes, China is generally considered a safe country for tourists with low violent crime, but requires awareness of petty theft, scams, strict censorship.
Travellers should be aware, especially in sensitive regions, that engaging in activities deemed subversive by the Chinese government is to be avoided. Examples include handing out materials advocating independence of Taiwan or distributing photographs of the Dalai Lama in Tibet. It is advisable to remain respectful of local customs and regulations during your visit.
