KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 (Bernama) -- Holders of UnionPay cards issued outside the Chinese mainland (card number starting with 62) now can enjoy a 15 percent discount and diversified privileges in the Xintiandi business district, a landmark in Shanghai, China. 
    
A statement issued recently in Shanghai China by UnionPay International said this promotion valid until the year end is to catch up with the trend of an increasing number of foreigners coming to China for traveling, business and study.
    
UnionPay International has issued over 32 million UnionPay cards in over 30 countries and regions outside the Chinese mainland and launched special products including dual currency (CNY and foreign currency) cards to meet market demands. 
    
These overseas-issued UnionPay cards can be used on POS terminals of 19 million merchants and 1.7 million ATMs across the world. Therefore, a growing number of foreigners choose to use UnionPay cards for their local spending and international travels. 
   
The Xintiandi promotion, targeted at improving card-using experience of overseas cardholders, not only boasts strong flavor of historical and cultural heritage of Shanghai but also presents a fusion of China and the West. It has long been a place for leisure and entertainment frequently visited by tourists travelling to Shanghai.
