According to predictions from the National Immigration Administration, major ports across the country are about to experience a peak in inbound and outbound passenger flow during the National Day holiday. Especially at the Beijing port, passenger flow continues to rise due to factors such as the visa-free policy and golden autumn tourism. When traveling during the holidays, we also remind everyone to prepare for travel in advance and clear customs smoothly.
With the continuous expansion of the visa-free "circle of friends" and the pleasant tourism climate in Beijing during the golden autumn, the passenger flow at Beijing Port has been steadily increasing and operating at a high level. It is estimated that during the National Day holiday, the number of entry-exit passengers at Beijing ports will reach 511,000, of which the number of entry-exit passengers at the Capital International Airport port is expected to be 385,000, with an average of 55,000 per day. The number of entry-exit passengers at the Daxing International Airport port is expected to be 126,000, with an average of 18,000 passengers per day.
In order to actively cope with the peak inbound and outbound passenger flow during the National Day holiday, the Beijing General Border Inspection Station made every effort to ensure smooth customs clearance at the port. At the same time, we remind all inbound and outbound passengers to fully understand the entry and exit policies of the destination country (region) before traveling, and prepare relevant certificates and supporting documents. It is recommended to arrive at the airport 3 hours in advance to allow enough time for subsequent procedures.
Yanji floating market upgraded to welcome customers
National Day is approaching, and the weather in the north is fine and suitable for travel. The Yanji Floating Market, which has completed its upgrade and renovation, has also experienced a peak in passenger flow.
The Yanji Floating Market in the early morning is full of stalls and fragrant. Steaming hot delicacies of all kinds are filled with a thick smoke of fireworks.
In the 1980s and 1990s, vendors spontaneously set up stalls on the banks of the Yanji River, forming an open-air morning market. When the river water rises during the flood season, the water often reaches the foot of the stalls, and the vendors do business next to the river. This is where the name "Floating Market" comes from. In 1999, a fixed building market was built on the riverside. Although it became an indoor building, the name "Floating Market" has been used to this day. With its authentic delicacies, the floating market has gradually developed into a cultural and tourism landmark in Yanji, attracting a large number of tourists.
In order to improve the business and tourism environment, more than 300 merchants will be relocated as a whole in July 2026. The new venue has a wider space, many old stall owners have expanded their business areas, and hardware services have been fully upgraded. Many tourists come here to visit, and sales of special souvenirs continue to rise.
Tourist Chen Yijing: I want to buy something for my family to taste. Our Yanji rice wine and rice sausage are specialties, as well as cakes and pollack.
Merchant Suo Yue: Customer traffic has increased several times compared to usual, and we have already prepared the quantity in advance.
Speeding up air logistics to ensure supply to the National Day flower market
The flower market in Urumqi, Xinjiang is also ushering in the peak sales season. As the largest flower distribution center in Xinjiang, Urumqi Pearl Flower Market’s passenger and cargo flows have continued to increase recently. Relying on an efficient and convenient air logistics system, high-quality fresh-cut flowers from Yunnan and other places can be transported to Urumqi by air on the same day, providing a strong guarantee for the supply of holiday flowers.
Thanks to the convenience brought by air logistics, the flower market has a richer variety of flowers during the festival. The reporter learned that during the National Day, the Mingzhu Flower Market supplied more than 1,000 varieties of flowers to meet the diverse purchasing needs of consumers.
Customer Zhu Wenjun: What I bought today is the three-headed Huang Tianba, which is a kind of lily. Because it’s time for a holiday, I want to give myself a good mood and a bouquet of flowers.
Zhou Lihong, flower shop operator at Mingzhu Flower Market: The timeliness of flowers is now much improved than in previous years. If we place an order today, it will arrive in the evening, and the goods can be presented to everyone the next day, so that everyone can buy the freshest products.
Faced with the increase in customer flow during the festival, many merchants have increased their stockings in advance, and at the same time made it more convenient for consumers to purchase flowers through online flower selection and home delivery.
