【Commentary】As the "Xunan" passenger ship carrying 133 passengers sailed from Xiamen Wutong Terminal to Kinmen, at the same time, the "Jinxing 6" passenger ship was also coming from Kinmen towards Xiamen. Since March 3, the scope of personnel passing through the "mini three links" route between the two sides of the strait has been expanded to all Taiwanese passengers and mainland spouses.
【Commentary】On the morning of the same day, in front of the ticket window in the hall of Wutong Passenger Terminal, there was already a long queue early, and they were Taiwan compatriots who boarded the "Xun'an" passenger ship of the "mini three links" Xiamen-gold route. Mr. Xu from Taipei rushed from Quanzhou with his wife and children to Wutong Ferry Terminal. He told reporters that he had not returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival for three years, and when he learned that Taiwanese people could take the "mini three links" Xiamen-gold route from today onwards, he came to buy tickets as soon as possible.

When we went back in June last year, we spent nearly 18,000 yuan for a family of three. But this round trip only costs about 4,000 yuan, which actually lightens our burden.
The "Jinxing 6" passenger ship departing from Kinmen on the other side to Xiamen carried 114 passengers, including many people on Taiwan Island, who came to Xiamen for the first time in three years on the "mini three links" passenger route.

If you want to come quickly, so many delicacies are waiting for us, and then bring some sorghum wine to give to friends here.
The Xiamen City Association of Taiwanese Investment Enterprises spontaneously organized a banner at Wutong Wharf saying "More convenient to come and go, compatriots are close to each other," and specially prepared 110 Xiamen Nanputuo vegetarian cakes to give to passengers, expressing the expectation for the resumption of normal cross-strait exchanges.

Finally, we have completely opened sailing, but we still hope that some of our compatriots on the mainland can easily travel from Kinmen to the island for sightseeing, so that it can be completely accessible.
【Commentary】It is reported that the Xiamen-Jinjin route will be adjusted to 3 round-trip flights from March 25. In view of the fact that the "mini three links" expand the scope of passage personnel and the passenger flow may increase significantly, the Gaoqi Border Inspection Station of Xiamen Border Inspection Station formulates special service plans according to the characteristics and dynamics of the port, and communicates closely with shipping agency companies to further improve the customs clearance experience at the port.

Innovate the intelligent application of data in the whole chain from ticket purchase, ticket inspection, customs clearance and boarding to realize real-time data verification and timely release of ship departures. Provide exclusive guidance for groups in need of assistance, special escorts, special channels, professional native language and other humanized services, so that the majority of inbound and outbound passengers traveling through the Xiamen Golden Route can truly feel the speed and temperature of this golden channel.
【Commentary】Since the resumption of the Xiamen-gold "mini three links" in 2023, the Gaoqi Border Inspection Station of the Xiamen Border Inspection Station has made every effort to ensure the customs clearance of the Xiamen-gold route, and has inspected nearly 1,5 inbound and outbound passengers in total, ensuring the special service of the "cross-strait life rescue green channel" 4 times.
