GUANGZHOU, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — The total number of people entering China through the checkpoint at Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, has exceeded 10 million as of Aug. 6 since the beginning of 2025, the airport's border control agency said.
The 10 million mark was passed 41 days earlier than the 2024 target. Foreign citizens accounted for 3.82 million crossings, up 37.4 percent from the previous year, ranking Baiyun Airport first among China's largest airports.
One of the main reasons for the significant growth is the increase in the number of flights: 18 scheduled international passenger air routes were opened or resumed for the first time in 2025. Currently, the airport serves 75 passenger and 46 cargo international routes every week.
The simplified entry regime into China for foreign citizens also played a role. During the reporting period, the total number of crossings through the Baiyun Airport checkpoint by foreign citizens entering the country without a visa exceeded 760 thousand person-times, an increase of 123.5 percent year-on-year. This figure accounted for almost 50 percent of the total number of foreigners entering China during the specified period through the Baiyun Airport checkpoint. -0-
