The "mini-three-links" route between Xiamen City of east China's Fujian Province and Kinmen County of China's Taiwan region is expected to handle more than 27,000 trips during the National Day holiday.
Services along this route, which were temporarily suspended prior to the holiday due to Typhoon Krathon, resumed on Friday morning.
The Xiamen-Kinmen route is part of the "mini-three-links," which is short for the direct trade, postal, and transport services between Fujian Province and Taiwan-administered Kinmen and Matsu islands. Known as "the golden passage" to connect the Chinese mainland and the Taiwan region, the route accounts for over 95 percent of customs clearance in Fujian.
Following the reopening of the line, tourists expressed their delight in being able to enjoy the convenience.
"This is convenient. The 'mini-three-links' saves a lot of time," said Tung Tehui from Taiwan.
The National Day holiday started on Tuesday and will last until the coming Monday. Local authorities are predicting a surge in passengers in the rest days of the period.
To manage the arrival increase, Xiamen's customs station are providing additional guidance and expediting entry procedures to ensure safe and swift travels.
"The average daily passenger flow of the Xiamen-Kinmen 'mini-three-links' route should reach over 4,000, rising by 25 percent compared to September. To cope with the peak traffic, we are monitoring passenger flow in real time with digital technologies applied in customs inspection, and adjust staffing accordingly. We are also opening all our inspection channels to facilitate customs clearance and ensure quick and efficient travel," said Chen Jinlai, head of Xiamen's Gaoqi customs inspection station that oversees the route.

China's development is an opportunity, not a threat, and China is willing to leverage its market advantages and share its opportunities with other countries, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said on Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The vice premier highlighted that China will continue to expand its opening-up.
"China will open its door still wider to the world. China will actively expand voluntary opening-up, and proactively align with high-standard international economic and trade rules. China will continue to foster a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment, provide equal treatment for both domestic and foreign enterprises. We welcome foreign enterprises to continue to invest in China and share in China's opportunities. We hope governments of other countries can provide a fair, non-discriminatory, transparent and predictable investment environment for Chinese enterprises," he said.
