China Marathon on May 1st, 2024 in Beijing!(April

China is continuously striving to enhance the convenience for
international visitors in various aspects. Two notable changes that
have caught our attention are the visa policy and the online payment
services in China.
1.
Visa to China:
Citizens from 15 countries can now enjoy visa-free entry to China.
Additionally, travelers from 46 countries can avail the transit visa
in Beijing for up to 144 hours. This means that if you have a flight
ticket to a third country, such as Singapore or Thailand, after your
visit to Beijing, you can apply for the 144-hour transit visa at the
Beijing airport. This allows you to stay in Beijing for a duration
of 144 hours, equivalent to 6 days, providing ample time for you to
participate in the 23rd Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1st,
2024.
Furthermore, there is also a 72-hour transit visa option available.
If you prefer not to extend your stay in Beijing, you can arrive on
April 30th, participate in the marathon on May 1st, 2024, and then
proceed to your onward journey to a third country.
These visa policies aim to facilitate your visit to China and ensure
a seamless experience during your participation in the prestigious
Great Wall of China Marathon.
2.
Online Payment in China:
Online Payment in China has become extremely popular, with a
significant decrease in the use of cash among Chinese people. The
rapid development of online payment platforms such as WeChat and
Alipay has revolutionized the way people make transactions in their
daily lives. Whether it's buying a bottle of water, purchasing
flight or train tickets, paying for hotel accommodations, settling
taxi fares, or even renting a shared bike, Chinese individuals rely
on these apps for seamless and convenient payments.
During the 22nd Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1st, 2023, many
international runners faced some difficulties when trying to do the
purchase with cash . Most places were unable to provide them with
the necessary change during the payment.
Currently, the daily limit for online payments in China for overseas
visitors stands at 5,000 USD. Therefore, if any new runners wish to
register for the 23rd Great Wall of China Marathon in May 2024, we
recommend downloading the WeChat app and conducting some online
payment tests with us before arriving in China. This will help you
become familiar with the process and make your experience more
enjoyable.
If you have any friends or acquaintances working in China, we
encourage you to seek their advice regarding WeChat Pay and Alipay.
They will undoubtedly confirm the extreme convenience of online
payment in China.
