China Eastern Airlines has inaugurated a direct flight from Milan Malpensa Airport to Xi’an, marking a significant milestone for the airport and strengthening ties between Italy and China. This new route will boost tourism, business connections, and international connectivity, and is a testament to the growing relationship between the two countries.
Alipay, the leading digital payment and lifestyle service platform, has partnered with Xi’an, China, to launch the ‘International Consumer Friendly Tourist Destination’ initiative, designed to enhance travel and shopping experiences for tourists. International visitors can now link their Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Discover®, or Diners Club International® credit or debit cards to the Alipay app, enabling easy payments at numerous merchants across China. Alipay is also partnering with other e-wallets, including AlipayHK, MPay, Touch ’n Go eWallet, and Kakao Pay, to make it easier for international tourists to use their home digital payment solutions while exploring China.
