B. The National Immigration Administration announced today that the transit visa-free policy has been comprehensively relaxed and optimized. The duration of stay for foreigners under the transit visa-free scheme has been extended from the original 72 or 144 hours to 240 hours (10 days). Additionally, 21 new ports have been designated as entry and exit points for transit visa-free travelers, expanding both the number of accessible ports and the areas where activities can be conducted.

The newly added ports include Taiyuan Wusu International Airport in Shanxi Province, Sunan Shuofang and Yangzhou Taizhou International Airports in Jiangsu Province, Wenzhou Longwan and Yiwu International Airports in Zhejiang Province, Hefei Xinqiao and Huangshan Tunxi International Airports in Anhui Province, Fuzhou Changle, Quanzhou Jinjiang, and Wuyishan International Airports in Fujian Province, Nanchang Changbei International Airport in Jiangxi Province, Jinan Yaoqiang, Yantai Penglai, and Weihai Dashuibo International Airports in Shandong Province, Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport in Hunan Province, Nanning Wuxu and Beihai Fucheng International Airports in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Haikou Meilan and Sanya Phoenix International Airports in Hainan Province, Chengdu Tianfu International Airport in Sichuan Province, and Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport in Guizhou Province.
