中国入境旅游在2026年上半年创下2291万外国游客访华纪录（同比增长20.4%）——对旅行者意味着什么
2026年上半年，中国记录到2291万次外国游客入境，同比增长20.4%，主要受免签政策扩大和国际游客支付服务改善推动。
核心观点
China recorded 22.914 million inbound trips by foreign nationals in the first half of 2026, a 20.4% year-on-year increase. This record surge is driven by expanded visa-free access to 77 countries, streamlined Alipay/WeChat Pay verification for foreigners, and aggressive international flight route expansion by Chinese carriers. Travelers in H2 2026 will benefit from more flight options, easier digital payments, and visa-free entry for a growing list of nationalities.

发生了什么变化
国家移民管理局（NIA）于2026年7月10日发布2026年上半年数据，显示中国入境旅游人数创下历史新高。2291.4万次外国游客入境涵盖旅游、商务和过境等目的。据CGTN报道，云南、贵州和湖南等传统夏季热门省份已经位居国际游客行程前列。
这一增长与政策变化直接相关。中国免签旅行网络目前已覆盖77个国家——包括2026年2月新增的英国和加拿大——240小时过境免签政策允许符合条件的旅客通过65个获批口岸游览24个省份，据国家移民管理局介绍。
在实际支付层面，中国人民银行（PBOC）推动支付宝和微信支付简化外国银行卡验证，使护照验证实现98%自动化，并在10分钟内完成，据ChinaSimply报道。完成全面验证用户的单笔交易限额也从5000元提高至35000元。
与此同时，中国航空公司目前运营中国三分之二的国际航线，南方航空、中国国际航空和中国东方航空都在2026年夏季新增飞往欧洲和东南亚的航线，据Travel And Tour World报道。国泰航空自2026年5月以来已三次下调燃油附加费，最近一次在2026年7月16日，将附加费降低17%。
下一步
- Check your country's visa-free status on the NIA official list before booking. 2. Download and passport-verify Alipay or WeChat Pay before your flight (10-minute process). 3. Book flights early for H2 2026 — demand is already at record levels and Golden Week (October 1–7) will intensify it.
可能变化的部分
The 77-country visa-free list may expand further before year-end 2026. Peak-season (Golden Week) may see temporary crowd-control measures at major attractions. Fuel surcharge reductions are subject to oil-price fluctuations.
