Xinjiang's Jeminay Port is buzzing like never before! The border crossing in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region just hit a major milestone: 100,000 cross-border passenger trips this year 🚀—the highest in a decade. Talk about wanderlust!
Why the Surge?
Officials credit the boom to smoother customs processes and China's expanding visa-free entry list. The port, connecting China and Kazakhstan, has seen border entries skyrocket by 250% this year, with some days logging over 700 trips. Pro tip: If you’re planning a Silk Road adventure, this might be your new favorite route! 🌟
Belt and Road Boost
Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative, Jeminay has become a hotspot for travelers and traders alike. Yao Lin, a border inspection official, told us: \"We’re optimizing services to support high-level global connectivity.\" Translation? Faster lines, happier travelers 🛂✌️.
