Travel between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan region just hit a major milestone! On March 21, 2026, the Xiamen-Kinmen shipping route recorded over 4,000 passenger trips in a single day – the highest daily number since the route reopened in 2023. 🎉
This “mini-strait” connection links Xiamen (Fujian Province) with Kinmen Island, a Taiwan-administered location just 2km offshore. Border authorities report 400,000+ trips handled this year alone – a 20% jump from 2025 numbers. 📈
Analysts say the surge reflects growing cultural exchanges and economic ties across the Taiwan Strait. “This route isn’t just about tourism – it’s become vital for family reunions and small-business trade,” notes Xiamen border official Li Wei.
