Beijing welcomes international tourists with surprise gifts and attraction tickets

Gift bags in hand. Smiles all around. New Year greetings echoing through the arrival hall.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, a London–Beijing flight didn't just land — it arrived in the middle of a festival.

Passengers were greeted with lucky draws, attraction tickets, and a warm Spring Festival welcome right at the airport.

With visa-free travel for UK passport holders starting February 17, 2026, trips like this may soon become even easier.

Sometimes, the celebration begins before you even leave the airport.
