On September 2, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun announced that in order to further facilitate travel between the countries, China has decided to expand the list of countries whose citizens enjoy a visa-free regime. From September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2026, a trial visa-free policy will be in effect for Russian citizens holding ordinary passports. Russian citizens with ordinary passports can enter China without a visa for the purposes of business, tourism, visiting friends and relatives, exchanging visits, and transit for a period of no more than 30 days.

Currently, there is a tourism boom between China and Russia, and citizens of both countries are making active efforts to achieve this. According to the Chinese Embassy in Russia, in 2024, mainland Chinese residents made 1.0394 million tourist trips to Russia as their first destination, an increase of 209.3% over the previous year. In 2024, mainland China received 1.5035 million Russian tourists, an increase of 115.1% over the previous year. As Rossiyskaya Gazeta noted in an article on September 2, Russian tourists' interest in traveling to China is growing, and this policy is likely to lead to a significant increase in the number of tourists visiting China. Vice President of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia Muradyan said that the positive results of the new policy will "far exceed expectations." Currently, the number of Russian citizens visiting China for tourism and business purposes is growing rapidly, and this decision is expected to increase the flow of tourists to China by 30-40%.

As RIA Novosti reports, the Russian Union of Travel Industry on September 2 said that this move by China is a “very pleasant surprise” that will further change the attitude of Russian tourists to travel to China. According to information, this decision by China could significantly increase demand for flights from Russia to China. Currently, airlines from both countries operate about 230 flights per week. The most popular destinations for Russian tourists are Sanya, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other cities.

China's "circle of friends of visa-free travel" is constantly expanding. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu said on August 29 that China has unilaterally abolished visas or introduced full mutual visa-free travel for 75 countries, and opened visa-free transit for 55 countries, and "travel to China" continues to be in great demand.

Whether it's getting together with friends and spending the day at a safari park on the outskirts of town on the weekends or heading to another city specifically to visit a zoo during the holidays, zoos have become a popular pastime among Chinese youth in recent years.

In recent years, Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo has become very popular, with more than 15,000 visitors daily, and many tourists come to Nanjing specifically for the zoo.

In addition, Xining Zoo in Qinghai Province has become famous throughout the country for its snow leopards "Ling Xiaomang" and "Ling Xiaozhe", while tiger "Hongtang" in Shanghai Zoo and lion cub "Xiaomao" in Harbin Polar Aquarium in Heilongjiang Province have attracted many fans with their playful and friendly nature.

The popularity of Zoo Walk is due to the fact that zoos offer a variety of interesting activities to attract young visitors.

"We just want to gradually break people's traditional notion that a zoo is just a place to show animals," said Shen Zhijun, director of Hongshan Forest Zoo. Through innovative efforts such as developing cultural and creative products, the zoo has transformed from a single-function space into a multifunctional cultural space where people can see and play.

Shangfangshan Zoo in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, launched the “Under Your Name, Guardianship Out of Love” program, allowing citizens to directly participate in the daily protection of animals through guardianship. This will not only provide animals with more care, but also give citizens a deeper understanding of the animals’ habits, thereby strengthening their consciousness of protecting nature.

BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — The central banks of China and Indonesia on Thursday formally launched a local currency settlement framework for bilateral transactions to facilitate the further use of local currencies in bilateral trade and investment.

The new mechanism is based on a memorandum of understanding signed in May this year, which modernized the previous framework mechanism by extending settlements in national currencies to all balance of payments items.

In addition, the central bank governors of the two countries announced on the same day the official launch of a bilateral pilot project for cross-border connectivity through QR codes. The project, which will enable settlements in national currencies, is expected to be fully operational in 2025 and will mark an important advance in the payment cooperation between the two countries.

"The establishment of a national currency settlement framework for bilateral transactions and the interconnection of cross-border payments through QR codes are important achievements of China-Indonesian financial cooperation," said Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC, central bank).

He pointed out that the central banks of the two countries should further deepen cooperation in areas such as the interconnection of payment systems, the use of national currencies and digital currencies.

The PBOC also announced that the central banks of China and Indonesia will establish a joint working mechanism to further enhance the institutionalization of bilateral cooperation to promote deeper and more productive financial cooperation. –0–
