Chongqing - China's 144-hour visa-free policy has recently opened the door for more foreign tourists to explore the country. This policy and viral videos by foreign bloggers have sparked a surge in interest among international travelers. Chongqing, a city with over 3,000 years of history, has become especially popular on social media, attracting numerous foreign visitors.

Andrew Kang, a native of Shenyang, Liaoning, was born in 1997 and has thrived in this environment. After completing his studies in Australia, he worked in overseas marketing in Shanghai for two years. Last year, he decided to pursue his passion and moved to Chongqing to become a freelance tour guide. His job involves more than just showing scenic spots; he also helps tourists understand China's contemporary economic development and social changes.

With nearly 40,000 visa-free foreign entries through Chongqing Jiangbei Airport in the first half of this year—77 times more than the same period in 2023—Andrew's expertise is in high demand. He uses his social media presence to connect with potential clients and showcase Chongqing's vibrant culture, bridging the gap between China and the world.
