(260424) -- CHONGQING, April 24, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A tourist from Mexico purchases shoes at an international smallware wholesale market in Yuzhong District of Chongqing, southwest China, April 22, 2026. The continuously optimized entry policies in recent years have made it more convenient for overseas tourists to travel in China. Chongqing, a city built on mountains that boasts one-of-a-kind skyline, vibrant street life, and rich local flavors, has drawn many travelers from around the world.

While enjoying the delicious food, viewing the scenic spots and experiencing the colorful culture, overseas tourists also find themselves immersed in the "Chinese sense of security," which usually refers to the freedom of strolling alone late at night, the easy retrieval of lost or forgotten belongings, and the peaceful mind when your young kids have fun by themselves in the community.

According to the data provided by the Chongqing General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection, the number of overseas passengers entering through Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport exceeded 137,000 in the first quarter of this year, a year-on-year growth of 106 percent, a new record high.
