URUMQI, December 10 (Xinhua) — As of December 9, the number of border crossings at the airport in Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has exceeded 1.05 million, reaching a new all-time high. This figure is projected to reach 1.15 million by the end of 2025.
According to the customs service at Urumqi's Tianshan International Airport, China's introduction of a number of visa-free measures has made it easier for foreign tourists to enter the country for tourism, visiting family and friends, and receiving tax refunds on purchases. The popularity of the "China Travel" trend continues to grow. Passenger traffic at Tianshan Airport, an important aviation hub in Xinjiang, continues to grow.
"This is my second time in Xinjiang, China, since I was here three years ago. The international airport has changed a lot, and customs procedures have become very convenient," said a Kazakhstani passenger who flew into Urumqi from Almaty.
Zhang Weijie, Deputy Director of Customs at Tianshan Airport, reported that since the beginning of this year, customs has been collaborating with a number of airlines to promote the expansion of international passenger routes and increase the potential of the air transport sector. Currently, the Urumqi airport checkpoint connects 28 cities in 20 countries.
