UK and Canadian nationals will be able to travel to mainland China for up to 30 days without a visa from 17 February, BBC reported.
China's foreign ministry said visa-free entry would be permitted for tourism, business or visits to family and friends, with the policy set to stay in effect initially until 31 December.
It follows Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's official visit to China last month, where he and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed travel rules would be relaxed, according to BBC.
