The Jimei Street in Xiamen has been designated as the pilot cultural town for overseas Chinese in Fujian province, according to a circular issued by the provincial overseas Chinese affairs office.
The move is aimed at strengthening the protection of the former residences and distinctive old mansions of overseas Chinese. The construction of the cultural town can enhance recognition of cultural identity among overseas Chinese, according to the office.
China has extended its 240-hour visa-free transit policy and Hainan's 30-day visa-free entry policy to citizens of Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam, the National Immigration Administration said on Aug 20.
