CCTV News: With the introduction of a series of convenient customs clearance policy measures, the enthusiasm of Chinese and foreign tourists in border areas continues to rise. According to statistics from the Guangxi Entry and Exit Border Inspection General Station, in the first two months of this year, more than 2.3 million passengers entered and exited the ports in Guangxi, an increase of 12.2% year-on-year. It is particularly noteworthy that 486,000 inbound foreign tourists were up 27.2% from the same period last year.
The Friendship Pass Port is one of the most convenient land routes to ASEAN countries in my country. Many tourists choose to pass through here, taste exotic food, and experience exotic style. At the Pingxiang Friendship Pass Port Joint Inspection Building, tourists from all over the country lined up in an orderly manner under the guidance of border police officers, preparing to leave the country and "visit" across the country.
Dongxing Port is the border land port with the largest passenger flow in China and Vietnam, and has become a vibrant link for cultural exchanges between China and Vietnam. Relying on the geographical advantages of "crossing two countries with one foot", inbound and outbound passengers can enjoy the surrounding area of Dongxing Port and experience the border culture. They can also take the "one stop" of cross-border bus to directly reach the core scenic spot and experience the exotic style.
Fan Chunli, deputy captain of the third team of the Dongxing Border Inspection Station of Guangxi Border Inspection General Station, said: "We provide inbound tourism groups with forecast and pre-check, and open special channels. Tour groups are inspected immediately, and pass through efficiently. The average daily inspection volume has steadily increased, witnessing the increasing popularity of cross-border tourism."
Data shows that as of March 11, the number of inbound and outbound personnel at Dongxing Port this year has exceeded 1.5 million, with more than 2,000 tourist groups entering Vietnam, and more than 17,000 Vietnamese passengers entered China through Dongxing Port. Behind the dazzling data is the surging enthusiasm of the people of the two countries for cross-border tourism, which also demonstrates the increasing attractiveness of Dongxing Port.
