Beijing, November 9 (Xinhua) — Following the entry into force of China's visa-free regime for Russian citizens with regular passports on September 15, 2025, as of November 4, 1,903 buses had passed through the Manzhouli Port of North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in both directions, carrying more than 44,600 passengers. Passenger traffic increased by 55.23 percent compared to the same period last year, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government.
According to data from the Manzhouli City Transportation Bureau, during the above-mentioned period, the number of buses passing through the checkpoint as part of irregular passenger transportation between the two countries amounted to 1,997, and the passenger flow volume reached 43,482 person-times.
To better support the exchange of people and goods between China and Russia, the Manzhouli Transport Bureau has installed translation devices along passenger and cargo routes. Using these devices, border guards can explain the customs clearance process to Russian drivers in more detail, informing them of routes and safety precautions to ensure cross-border vehicles pass through the checkpoint smoothly.
As a reminder, an international scheduled passenger road service linking Manzhouli with Aginskoye, Russia, opened in September of this year. The Manzhouli-Aginskoye route is the sixth scheduled international passenger road service between China and Russia to pass through the Manzhouli checkpoint. Previous routes opened include Manzhouli-Zabaikalsk, Manzhouli-Krasnokamensk, Manzhouli-Borzya, Manzhouli-Chita, and Hailar-Chita.
