In the village of Lasite, Altay City, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, 71-year-old Slanbek Shahesh carefully sands a birch board to make fur skis. He has been practicing this ancient craft for over half a century. "I learned the craft from my father since I was 15 or 16 years old. In ancient times, it was a travel tool for the people of Altay," he says.

The rock carvings in Dandebrak, located 40 km from the old man's workshop, depict scenes of ancient Altai people hunting on fur skis more than ten thousand years ago. These valuable petroglyphs are the evidence that earned Altai international recognition as the "origin of skiing."

Zhang Wenting, an employee of the Lasite village administration, explained: "In winter, local herders still use fur skis for everyday life and work in the mountains. We also hold traditional skiing competitions on these skis."

Altai is located in the golden ski belt at 47 degrees north latitude. Four major ski resorts have already been built here: Jiangjunshan, Kektokai, Jikpulling, and Langshan in Qinggil County. The region is rapidly developing into China's premier tourist destination, a world-class winter resort, and a winter economic hub with international influence.

Beijing, September 28 (Xinhua) — As of September 24, a total of 980,000 foreigners have crossed the border in both directions through Hainan Province in southern China since the beginning of this year, an increase of 46.3 percent compared to the same period last year. Russia, Kazakhstan, and the Republic of Korea have become important tourist sources for this island province.

The sharp increase in foreign tourists to Hainan is due to the ongoing optimization of the country's visa-free policy. According to the Zhongxinshe News Agency, citizens of 86 countries can currently visit Hainan visa-free.

Since the beginning of this year, 395,000 foreigners have entered Hainan visa-free, accounting for 88.8 percent of the total number of foreign travelers to the province.

The city of Sanya is rightfully considered a resort paradise for foreigners. According to the Haikou Port Authority, the capital of Hainan Province, 570,000 foreign visitors have crossed the Chinese border through Sanya's air port since the beginning of this year.

After China introduced a trial visa-free regime for Russian citizens holding regular passports on September 14, many Russians are choosing Sanya as their starting point for travel within China, noted Zhang Xinchao, a guide at a local travel agency.

In response to the growing passenger flow, border and customs services, as well as other departments in Hainan Province, have taken numerous measures to improve the efficiency of customs clearance. -0-

"The city has changed dramatically; now the lush vegetation is everywhere, pleasing to the eye, and my soul feels light and happy," shares Russian Kirill Ratnikov, who returned to China after many years.

This trip also has a new goal: to gain a deeper understanding of life in Shanghai—food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment—and share his impressions with family and friends. In addition to the beautiful urban environment and rich cultural tourism offerings, Kirill Ratnikov also expressed a high opinion of Shanghai's cuisine.

"From September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026, China will introduce a visa-free regime for Russians with ordinary passports on a trial basis. I am confident this will attract more Russian tourists to China," he said.

In September, the 36th Shanghai Tourism Festival entered its "classical events season." One of the classic programs, the "Carnival Parade," featured 24 performing groups from 15 countries and regions. These international performers are also visiting tourists. In addition to performing, they explore the city's landscapes and engage in cultural exchanges with the friendly Chinese people.

In this context, the Shanghai Tourism Festival organizing committee appointed the leaders of these overseas groups as "observers," inviting them to evaluate changes in inbound cultural tourism, transportation convenience, and other aspects.

According to data, Shanghai received approximately 4.839 million inbound tourists from January to July this year, a 37% increase compared to the same period last year. Of these, 3.612 million were foreigners, representing a 51.5% increase. According to forecasts from the Shanghai Administration of Culture and Tourism, the number of inbound tourists to Shanghai is expected to exceed 8 million this year.

Beijing, September 28 (Xinhua) — A batch of imported goods recently cleared customs and arrived at the border trade zone located at the Tseke Port on the China-Mongolia border. This marks the first batch of goods imported from Mongolia to China in 2025, according to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government website.

This batch of imported goods included chocolates, candies, cashmere products, beverages and other goods produced in Mongolia, and their total value amounted to more than 600 thousand yuan.

The Tseke Border Crossing is located in the Ejing District of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China. It is an important transportation hub, trade center, cargo distribution center, and resource channel connecting northwestern China with foreign countries.

Throughout the customs clearance process for this batch of goods, Ejina Customs and the Tseke checkpoint collaborated closely, significantly reducing customs clearance time and lowering importer operating costs.

According to the Tseke checkpoint, construction of the China-Mongolia border trade zone began in 2021, covering a total area of 5,194 square meters and housing approximately 300 trade stalls. The first batch of goods imported from Mongolia was registered in this zone on April 30, 2024.

"As an important platform for promoting China-Mongolia trade and economic exchanges, the border trade zone not only expands business opportunities and increases income for residents in the border area, but also deepens bilateral trade and economic cooperation," said Jiang Yang, deputy head of Ejing Customs, adding that the customs will continue to optimize customs control services to promote the high-quality development of this trade zone. -0-
