Hey there! Have you heard about the “mini three links”? 🌟 They’re special routes that connect mainland China’s Fujian Province with Taiwan’s Kinmen and Matsu islands. And guess what? In 2024, over 1.36 million people took trips using these routes! That’s a huge number, isn’t it?
These routes are like bridges that help people visit family, do business, and explore new places. They started on January 1, 2001, and have been super important ever since. In 2024, the number of trips went up by almost 79% compared to the previous year! 🚢✈️
During the New Year celebrations, more than 5,000 travelers used the routes every day! Imagine that many people hopping on boats and planes to see their loved ones. And with the Spring Festival coming up in 2025, experts think around 200,000 more trips will be made. That’s a lot of journeys!
To help everyone get where they’re going, there will be six extra trips per day starting January 14. That’s more chances for friends and families to connect. 😊
The “mini three links” include direct routes for trade, postal services, and transport. They make it easier for goods and messages to travel between these places. Isn’t it cool how connected our world can be?
So next time you think about traveling or sending a letter, remember how these special links make it all possible! ✉️🌍
