BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) — The number of border crossings in both directions through Alashankou Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region reached 156,000 in the first three quarters of 2025, up 0.41 percent year-on-year, according to a statement posted on the official website of Alashankou City Hall.

With the introduction of a visa-free regime between China and Kazakhstan and the continued strengthening of cross-border tourism cooperation, the Alashankou checkpoint is stepping up efforts to provide better services to facilitate exchanges between the people of China and Central Asian countries.

Alashankou Customs provides multilingual customs clearance guides to more accurately explain customs and passport control procedures to arriving and departing travelers. Using intelligent equipment such as millimeter-wave body monitoring systems, temperature screening barriers, and X-ray baggage inspection machines, Alashankou has created an integrated screening channel, significantly reducing the time required to complete this procedure.

At the same time, the city's customs officials are also strengthening exchanges and interactions with various joint inspection structures, improving the structure of the customs and passport control process, and taking comprehensive measures to simplify procedures in order to increase the efficiency of customs inspection at the border crossing. -0-
