URUMQI, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — The Dulat Port of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has received its 100,000th inbound passenger since the beginning of 2025 as of Tuesday, 103 days earlier than last year.
During the reporting period, passenger traffic through this checkpoint increased by 56.9 percent year-on-year, and the number of vehicles passing through it in both directions rose by 73.6 percent to more than 56 thousand units.
The Dulata checkpoint is located just 247 km from the Kazakh city of Almaty and is an important transport hub connecting China with Central Asia and Europe.
As the Belt and Road Initiative progresses and thanks to the mutual visa-free regime between China and Kazakhstan, cross-border tourism through the Dulata checkpoint is gaining momentum.
“Customs clearance here is very convenient, all procedures took less than ten minutes, which indicates the high efficiency of the border crossing,” said one of the Chinese tourists who decided to visit Kazakhstan.
According to the data from the border control service of the Dulata checkpoint, there has been a significant increase in the incoming and outgoing tourist flow through the checkpoint since the beginning of this year. It is expected that by the end of the year the figure will reach 150 thousand person-times, which is about 44 percent more than last year. -0-
