A Magical Journey to Ecuador—South America's Equatorial Country

Ecuador—South America's country on the equator ⏳Located in northwestern South America, Ecuador attracts countless travelers with its unique equatorial scenery, rich cultural heritage, and diverse natural landscapes. As a visa-free country for Chinese tourists, Ecuador allows Chinese tourists to stay for up to 90 days without a visa.

It is recommended to learn some simple, common Spanish phrases or use translation software. Regarding safety concerns: The overall security situation in Ecuador is good, but in big cities like Quito and Guayaquil, tourists still need to be cautious: avoid traveling alone at night | keep valuables safe | landslides or floods may occur in some areas of Ecuador, especially during the rainy season (December to June). Pay attention to weather warnings before traveling. 🎈Recommended attractions in Ecuador Quito's Old Town: As a World Cultural Heritage site, Quito's Old Town is known for its well-preserved colonial architecture and rich cultural heritage.
