There was a launch ceremony in the city of Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia, on July 3, for a new cross-border tourist railway line linking the region with Russia, which allows passengers to enjoy an 8-day 3,500-kilometer ride to the Russian cities of Zabaikalsk, Chita, Ulan-Ude and Irkutsk.
Manzhouli is China's largest land port, so this new line seems certain to boost tourism between China and Russia, the organizers have said.
