BEIJING, June 13 (Xinhua) — The flow of visitors to the China-Kazakhstan International Boundary Cooperation Center (ICBC) “Khorgos”, located in the city of the same name in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, increased by 87.2 percent year on year to 3.893 million people in the first five months of 2025, according to data from the Khorgos border checkpoint.

The Khorgos ICBC has thousands of types of goods from Central Asia and Europe. Thanks to the preferential policy, tourists can easily make purchases from all over the world here.

Let us recall that 2024 was the Year of Kazakhstan Tourism in China, and 2025 was declared the Year of China Tourism in Kazakhstan. In the context of the synergistic effect of holding relevant events and mutual visa-free regime, Khorgos has become the main choice for cross-border travel.

As Xinjiang’s peak tourist season approaches, Khorgos ICBC is expected to welcome a record number of visitors. -0-
