The 144-hour visa-free policy only applies to foreign visitors from 53 countries who have outbound air tickets and visas to a third country. A 144 hours‘ stay in Beijing is enough for tourists to cover several must-see attractions such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, etc. It also allows tourists to take a Hutong tour, watch a acrobatic or Kung Fu show.
