Chengdu to offer 72-hour visa-free policy on Sept 1

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/ch..._132673216.htm

With three days to spend in Chengdu, reserve one day for the pandas and two for local culture and food, Mei Jia suggests.

Known as the hometown of the panda and hotpot, Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, will enact a 72-hour visa-free policy on Sept 1 for visitors from 45 countries.

Those transit passengers holding valid visas and a flight ticket to a third country will be allowed to travel in the city and the regions under the municipal government, making Chengdu the country's fourth city to open up such convenient three-day stops for foreigners.
