中国2026年上半年外国入境人次创纪录达2291万——夏季旅行者必须知道的事
2026年上半年，中国录得2291万外国入境人次，同比增长20.4%，主要受免签政策扩大推动。近78%经免签入境。这一创纪录客流对你的夏季旅行意味着什么——从机场排队到预订策略。
核心观点
China welcomed 22.91 million foreign arrivals in the first half of 2026, a 20.4% year-on-year increase. According to the National Immigration Administration (NIA), 17.8 million travelers — 77.7% of all entries — used visa-free channels under China's expanded 30-day unilateral waiver program. For summer 2026 travelers, this record surge means busier airports, longer immigration queues, and tighter availability for attractions, trains, and hotels. Book everything at least 1–2 weeks in advance.

发生了什么变化
国家移民管理局（NIA）于2026年7月18日发布2026年上半年出入境统计数据，披露三项关键数字：
- 2291万外国国民于2026年1月至6月期间进入中国大陆——同比增长20.4%，据CGTN和人民日报在线报道。
- 1780万人免签入境——占所有外国入境人次的77.7%，据NIA数据。这是中国30天单边免签政策的直接结果，该政策目前覆盖来自40多个国家的护照持有人，包括英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰以及大多数欧盟成员国，有效期至2026年12月31日。
- 共记录3.69亿次跨境行程（入境加出境），同比增长10.8%，创下中国历史最高半年数据，据中国经济网报道。
这一增长并非均匀分布。主要入境枢纽——北京首都国际机场（PEK）、上海浦东国际机场（PVG）、广州白云国际机场（CAN）和深圳宝安国际机场（SZX）——正接近满负荷处理旅客量。据Bastille Post报道，仅深圳宝安在夏季出行高峰开始时，单个工作日就安排了1313架次起降。
下一步
- Verify your visa-free eligibility on the NIA website and confirm your passport country is covered. 2. Book flights, hotels, high-speed trains (12306 English app), and attraction tickets (Forbidden City, Zhangjiajie) within 48 hours of finalizing your itinerary. 3. Complete the digital Arrival Card at arrivalcard.nia.gov.cn within 72 hours before departure to skip the paper form queue.
可能变化的部分
Visa-free policy terms are set through December 31, 2026, and may be extended. Attraction daily visitor caps, especially for the Forbidden City, can change without notice during peak periods. Airport immigration queue times vary significantly by port of entry and time of day — early morning arrivals (6:00–8:00 AM) typically have shorter queues.
