China's ease of visa process boosts Jinan's global appeal
Jinan, known as the "city of springs", has become a magnet for a growing number of international visitors, due to simplified visa procedures, improved tourism services, and its distinctive combination of cultural heritage and natural beauty.
Jinan border inspection station provides multilingual signposts and consultation services to assist foreign tourists with navigation, and a designated area for handling 240-hour visa-free transit applications.
Among the latest international arrivals to Jinan are Jack Torr, a native of Australia, and his wife Sophia Manandhar from Nepal, as part of the Journey to the East??, touching down at Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport. They visited Baotu Spring to try tea brewed with the park's own water, cruised Daming Lake wearing traditional hanfu, and dined at Kuishengju restaurant celebrated for Shandong cuisine.
