The list includes Vietnam and some neighboring countries such as Thailand, Japan, and the Philippines. The visa fee for Vietnamese citizens to enter China will be at least 45 USD.

According to Xinhua News Agency , this is considered the latest solution taken by the Chinese government to promote tourism in the country. Local Chinese diplomatic and consular agencies are ready to provide more detailed information, and continue to optimize visa and entry procedures, and adopt many favorable policies for foreigners to strengthen relations with countries around the world.

China currently waives visas for tourists from some European countries and two Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia and Singapore, to promote tourism.
