Erenhot Port in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regions, the largest China-Mongolia land port, conducted latest downgraded COVID-19 management for passenger checks on Sunday. 

According to the staff of Erenhot customs, about 300 Mongolian passengers have filled the declaration form in advance and took chartered bus departed from Zamyn-Uud Port in Mongolia to the Erenhot port on Sunday.

“Today’s number of Mongolian passengers entering China is capped, and the limit may be removed in next few weeks,” a staff member told the Global Times at the passenger check channel. 

A Chinese resident surnamed Zheng, who is the first passenger passing the customs check from the Mongolian side, said the new management for declaration is more convenient than before.  

“It only took me one hour since I got on the bus to the customs check was finished,” he said. 

In the exit channel of Erenhot Port, there were also a number of travelers waiting in queues for checks. A local resident surnamed Wang told the Global Times that she was looking forward to this policy adjustment. 

“My family and I didn’t go abroad in the past three years, so I decided to take a day trip with my daughter in Zamyn-Uud at the first day after the COVID-19 management was downgraded,” she noted.
