"More international tourists show a strong interest in China's natural scenery, historical sites, modern cities, and local cultures. The story of China is being shared with the world through the personal experiences of each visitor," he says.
During her Tianjin trip, Bondarenko interacted with many other foreign travelers from places such as New Zealand and Italy.
"Everyone is excited to travel here," she says, adding that they share fun anecdotes and tips during their travels.
She plans to pursue a master's degree in social media or marketing after finishing her studies this year, which she says will give her more time to explore the country.
Bondarenko says she'd like to have an in-depth tour of Beijing to experience the culture and to visit Chengdu, Sichuan province, to see pandas.
"It's safe to travel in China and easy and comfortable to go from place to place with the well-developed transport networks, such as the high-speed rails," she says.
