To better meet the needs of Chinese and Russian people for cross-border tourism and trade exchanges, the Yanji—Vladivostok international bus route went into service on July 29, building a new communication bridge for the two places.

The route is about 270 kilometers long. Departing from Yanji, the bus leaves from the Yanji Northeast Asia Bus Station at 7:20 am every day. After passing through Hunchun Port, it arrives at the Vladivostok Erdaohezi International Bus Station after nearly four hours of driving. Ticket prices are set at 190 RMB per person for visa holders and 170 RMB per person for tour groups. For the return trip, the bus departs from the Vladivostok Erdaohezi International Bus Station at 11:45 am Russian time (9:45 am Beijing time), with ticket prices set at 2,000 rubles per person (subject to market fluctuations). Additionally, tickets can be purchased both online and offline, providing great convenience to passengers.

The opening of the route provides more diversified, flexible and convenient travel options for Chinese and Russian people. More convenient transportation will boost the prosperity and development of bilateral trade, improve trade efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and further promote economic cooperation between the two places. Tourists will be able to enjoy the seaside scenery of Vladivostok and the ethnic customs of Yanji.

Meanwhile, the route enhances mutual understanding between Yanji and Vladivostok. In the process of communication, people can have a deeper understanding of each other's culture, customs and lifestyles, promoting cultural exchanges and integration. This will undoubtedly further deepen the friendship between China and Russia and inject new vitality into the development of relations between the two countries.

As this service continues to operate and improve, it stands to benefit an increasing number of people, heralding an even brighter future for communication and cooperation between the two places.
