China plans to allow travel groups organised by tour agencies in China’s in border areas can choose port of entry and exit “flexibly”, according to a draft rules released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Monday, making it easier for some foreigners to visits tourism sites along the border.

The draft rules didn’t provide specifics on locations and dates.

China has shut its borders to foreign tourists since the Covid-19 outbreaks started in 2020, with only specific groups of foreign nationals allowed to enter the country, such as those holding certain work visas.

In recent months, rules have gradually been relaxed, from resuming more direct flights between China and some countries to allowing foreign students with valid residence permits to enter China. Quarantine for foreign arrivals has also been reduced.Â
