flag Guangzhou’s subway now accepts international cards for contactless rides, boosting convenience for tourists ahead of the Canton Fair.

flag Starting October 12, 2025, Guangzhou’s subway system allows passengers to use contactless international bank cards—Mastercard, Visa, American Express, JCB—as well as compatible domestic cards to tap and ride without tickets or apps. flag The expansion, following earlier UnionPay integration, supports all five major payment networks, improving travel convenience for foreign visitors, especially those attending the 138th Canton Fair. flag The move aligns with China’s broader efforts to boost tourism, including expanded visa-free entry, which saw 38.05 million foreign trips to China in the first half of 2025, a 30.2% increase year-on-year.
