Russia - China tourism is experiencing a resurgence, driven by a new visa free - travel agreement for Russian citizens in China, and recently the Russian Federation has announced plans to increase the number of visitors from China fourfold by 2030, outlining a comprehensive programme to strengthen bilateral cooperation in tourism as reported by the official website of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.
The initiative was discussed during a meeting between Russian Minister of Economic Development Maksim Reshetnikov and Chinese Minister of Culture and Tourism Sun Yeli, alongside representatives of national tourism associations.
The Russian Federation pointed to geographical proximity, growing transport links and new infrastructure projects as key advantages for scaling up joint major initiatives, and among the highlights is the world’s first cross - border cable car, scheduled to open next year.
This project connecting the Russian city of Blagoveshchensk and the Chinese city of Heihe across the Amur River will carry up 2.5 million passengers annually, with travel times measured in minutes. The cableway will have two independent aerial tramway lines, with each cabin designed to carry 60 - 110 passengers, providing a fast and convenient transport link between the two countries.
Air connectivity is another focus. The air links between Russia and China are expanding significantly in 2025, driven by increased flight frequencies, new routes including those in the Far East, and growing tourism. Chinese airlines have dramatically increased their market share, and now Russia has proposed expanding flights from China to 200 per week, including services from major southern cities where flight frequencies remain limited.
In addition top strengthen much more a bilateral cooperation in tourism the two sides also discussed joint development of cross - border tourism routes, such as the historic Great Tea Road, a 13.000 kilometres route that for two centuries connected the Tsarist Russia and Qing China, as well as automotive tourism access across Siberia and the Russian Far East.
Russia launched another major initiative creating a a special catalogue of tailored travel products for the Chinese market, featuring destinations in the Khabarovsk Territory, located in the Russian Far East, famous for its historic sights, monuments of architecture of different eras, religious buildings, large parks, gardens, and artificial lakes, and other itineraries in various central Russian regions.
