Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality will implement regulations allowing 72-hour stays in the city without a visa for some travelers beginning on November 1.

The Jiangbei International Airport in Chongqing will apply the visa-free transit policy to passengers from 45 countries including the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Canada and Japan, according to a statement by the municipal government on October 23.

To date, four other Chinese mainland cities—Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu—have already implemented the same policy.
