CHANGCHUN, July 2 (Xinhua) — A group of 16 Russian tourists crossed the state border at Hunchun Port in northeast China’s Jilin Province on Tuesday and set off on a car tour around China. They became the first group of Russian car tourists to arrive in China this year through this checkpoint on the Sino-Russian border.
To make travel more convenient for foreign tourists, a one-stop service counter has been opened at the Hunchun checkpoint, offering services for obtaining a visa upon arrival at this border crossing, a temporary driver’s permit, a temporary vehicle license plate, and car insurance. It only takes 15 minutes for each incoming tourist to obtain this package of services.
In addition, foreign travelers can apply for a visa on arrival on a special online platform and receive the relevant document at the border crossing.
According to Wu Wei, a representative of a local travel agency, providing such public services on a one-stop basis will further promote the development of cross-border tourism between China and Russia.
According to statistics, by the end of 2024, the incoming and outgoing tourist flow through the Hunchun checkpoint amounted to 667 thousand person-times. -0-
