Xi'an, Qingdao to join HK, Macao individual visit plan

China Daily  

People from Xi'an in Shaanxi province and Qingdao in Shandong province will soon be eligible to visit the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions in an individual capacity, as the State Council on Friday added the two cities to the Individual Visit Scheme effective March 6. According to the National Immigration Administration, under the scheme, eligible people from Xi'an and Qingdao can apply for individual visit endorsements for Hong Kong and Macao for leisure purposes on an individual basis. During a media conference on Friday, John Lee Ka-chiu, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, expressed his gratitude to the central government for responding to the SAR government's proposal to increase the number of eligible cities. Tourism sector legislator Perry Yiu Pak-leung said that expanding the number of IVS cities would provide more opportunities for Hong Kong residents to explore and visit the corresponding cities on the mainland, fostering greater exchanges.
