Beijing is considering allowing foreign tourists a 72-hour window to explore the capital without a visa, similar to the existing 48-hour visa-free stay in Shanghai, or the 21-day visa-free entry for tourist groups visiting South China's Hainan province.
Fu Zhenghua, the city's director of public security, has confirmed that authorities are mulling over the move, saying it would represent a crucial sign that Beijing is open to the world.
Neither the bureau nor the Beijing Tourism Development Committee, which proposed the policy, would offer more details about the visa window when contacted by China Daily.
