Fujian Province’s maritime safety administration shared the latest stats, revealing nearly 9,000 trips made throughout the year.
During the New Year period, daily passenger traffic averaged over 5,000 travelers, and the upcoming 2025 Spring Festival rush is expected to see a whopping 200,000 trips! 🌟 To meet demand, Taiwan authorities’ transportation department announced 6 additional daily trips starting January 14.
