SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): KIM JUN-BUM, Vlogger
"Hello! I have a question. How many foreigners have entered China through ports in Beijing this year? "

SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): DU YU, Beijing Daxing Airport Immigration Inspection Station
"With the continuous expansion of China's visa-free policies and the continuous optimization of facilitation measures for foreigners coming to China, the number of foreigners entering through Beijing ports increased by more than twofold compared to the same period in 2023, and the number of foreign tourists entering China through Beijing Daxing International Airport has continued to grow. More and more foreign tourists visit China via the 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy."

"Because we don't need any visa in France and in Germany for two weeks (less than 15 days)."

SOUNDBITE 6 (Chinese): KIM JUN-BUM, Vlogger
"Tourist service center. Hello! If my foreign friends visit Beijing, do you have any travel guidance available?"

SOUNDBITE 7 (Chinese): WANG HAIYA, Staff member at Beijing Daxing Airport
"Yes, we do. Wait a second. If foreign friends arrive at Daxing Airport, we have prepared a travel guide, which is divided into several parts. The first part is about the security information. The second part is the tips for Wi-Fi connection. The third part is about departure and tax refund. The fourth part is about the airport transportation and boarding location, and the fifth part is payment assistance.
To the west of international arrivals on the first floor, there is a payment service center for foreign visitors where they can consult. There are plenty of travel tips available in this guide, and we hope this guide can solve major problems for foreign travelers."

SOUNDBITE 8 (Chinese): KIM JUN-BUM, Vlogger
"Take a look, there is a machine for buying Beijing Pass, a card for public transportation. When you take a taxi, a bus, or subway, and when you buy something in shopping malls, you can use the Beijing Pass. The Beijing Pass can now be purchased at Daxing Airport. We can withdraw RMB through this machine and buy the Beijing Pass card with cash. It's very convenient. Moreover, there is an English interface here, which is very convenient."
