...... After soaking up the historical sites and cultural experiences in Beijing, I boarded a high-speed train to Shanghai. The ride was smooth and fast—truly a testament to China's advanced infrastructure. As I arrived in Shanghai, the skyline took my breath away. Standing by the Bund, I marveled at the juxtaposition of old and new, where colonial architecture meets futuristic skyscrapers.

Dear Durian Guesthouse Team, I saw that you are hiring volunteers, and I'm interested in becoming one to share some experiences within the hospitality industry. Are you still accepting volunteers? I am currently working at a school (T). Before this, I worked for an American charity called Little Flower Projects (China Little Flower) as a volunteer coordinator, welcoming visitors and donors, managing donations. During my internship as a Butler Service Desk Operator (Telephone operator) at The St. Regis, I handled incoming communication, delivered emails, assisted other apartments with client information. I also work for an American telecommunications company, calling operators to make sure lines are working. With ample free time during my school holidays, I am eager to dedicate myself to this work. Thank you for your consideration. Please let me know if you need any further information. I am looking forward to your reply. Kind regards, X

...... For foreigners, China's "144-hour visa-free" policy is very convenient. This policy applies to citizens of 59 countries. As long as they hold a joint ticket from a third country, they can stay in a visa-free city for six days without complicated visa procedures. This has surprised many foreigners-originally, it was only a short transit, but I didn't expect to "punch in" the cities in China. This simple and convenient "transit tour" has become the first choice for many foreigners.

...... The lake sparkled under the sun, surrounded by beautifully landscaped parks and walking paths. Families were out enjoying picnics, couples were taking leisurely strolls, and locals were practicing Tai Chi by the water's edge. This was not the polluted wasteland I had anticipated.

The contrast was striking, and I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I began to rethink my preconceived notions about this place.

Wandering through Wangfujing, the bustling shopping street, I tasted local snacks that ranged from candied fruits to exotic street foods. Each encounter with the locals left me with a warm feeling, and their eagerness to help made me feel right at home.

...... According to the data, in the first half of this year, the number of foreigners entering the country at various ports increased by 152.11%, and more than half of them entered through the visa-free policy. It can be said that this policy not only makes it easy for more foreigners to visit China, but also attracts a group of "visitors" who are curious about China. They use their own perspective to discover and record China, and then share what they have seen and heard with the world.
