Changchun, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) — The number of people crossing the border in both directions through China's Hunchun border crossing exceeded 700,000 last year, setting a new historical record, according to data from the local border control agency.
As the only land border crossing on the Chinese-Russian border in Jilin Province (Northeast China), the Hunchun checkpoint is connected to Vladivostok, Zarubino, Posyet and other settlements in Russia by direct transport links.
A trip to the city of Hunchun via the checkpoint of the same name during the New Year holidays has become a popular pastime for many residents of Russia's neighboring regions. Here, they can immerse themselves more deeply in traditional Chinese culture and enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine.
In recent years, in order to attract an increasing number of Russian tourists, Hunchun has made continuous efforts to optimize its tourism infrastructure, improve the quality of its tourism services, and develop new, original tourist routes and products.
At the same time, a simplified visa policy has also significantly boosted the boom in cross-border tourism. In 2025, China and Russia launched a mutual visa-free regime, covering citizens of the two countries holding regular passports. -0-
