With the arrival of the summer vacation and new adjustments to exit and entry policies, Beijing's ports have seen a significant increase in passenger traffic. As of June 26, 2024, the number of visits made by inbound and outbound passengers through Beijing's ports has reached 8 million, 2.9 times that of the same period last year.

In June, the daily combined number of the entries and exits recorded at Beijing's ports was about 50,000 on average. On June 23, the number exceeded 60,000, peaking at 62,000 in a single day. This sets a new daily record for this year, accounting for 85 percent of the average daily volume in 2019.

To further optimize Beijing's foreign-related business environment and make application processes of visas and other relevant documents more convenient for foreigners, the Exit-Entry Administration Department of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau has opened new service centers in Mentougou District, Fangshan District, Pinggu District, and Miyun District respectively on June 27.
