@chineseembassyinnepal: China Haul: Why foreign visitors are now leaving with full suitcases Foreign visitors once left China with little more than a handful of souvenirs. Now many arrive with empty suitcases and leave with them packed. On TikTok, the trend has a name: China Haul. Looking at the recent "China+" trends on overseas social media, "China Haul" makes more sense. During the "China Travel" phase, people mostly filmed the scenery. In the "Chinamaxxing" period, they started recording high-speed trains, night markets, and drone deliveries—stuff that felt like a high-tech, slightly futuristic China. Now with "China Haul," they're actually packing their suitcases. Seeing it, going there, and bringing something home is what makes the impression stick. Once the products end up in someone's daily life—used, unboxed on camera, and flooded with "link please" comments—they stay familiar and gradually build trust. From the old staples of tea, silk, and panda plush toys to AI glasses, domestic running shoes, iconic cultural landmarks, and the loquat paste that foreign creators now call a "Chinese miracle remedy," the shopping experience for foreigners in China has become far richer. Suitcases packed to capacity and the rise of "China Haul" illustrate both the appeal of Chinese manufacturing and the practical results of China's continued opening. https://en.people.cn/n3/2026/1019/c90000-20509900.html
