Xinjiang’s Jeminay Port, a key border crossing between China and Kazakhstan, is buzzing like never before. This year, the port recorded a whopping 100,000 cross-border passenger trips, marking a 10-year high, local officials announced on Friday.
The figures show a staggering 250% increase in border entries and exits compared to previous years, with single-day peaks soaring over 700 travelers. It’s clear that more people are choosing Jeminay Port as their gateway between the two nations.
So, what’s behind this surge? The convenience of customs clearance at Jeminay Port is a major draw. With streamlined procedures, travelers are finding it easier than ever to cross the border. The expansion of China’s visa-free entry list and the progress of the Belt and Road Initiative have also played significant roles in boosting cross-border travel.
“We continue to optimize and address the challenges in customs clearance to propel high-level opening up,” said Yao Lin, a division head at the border inspection station. The commitment to providing quality and efficient services is evident in the port’s record-breaking numbers.
For young adventurers and globetrotters, Jeminay Port now stands out as a top choice for exploring the rich cultures and landscapes of China and Kazakhstan. With the momentum it’s gained, the port is set to continue its rise as a bustling hub of international connection.
