A 7-kilometer cable car will transport Chinese tourists into Russia's Primorsky Territory

Russia plans to establish a direct transit route for Chinese tourists into the Primorsky Territory via a new cable car system. This infrastructure will support a year-round seaside resort in Expedition Bay, located in the Khasansky District near the village of Mayachnoe, approximately six kilometers from the border. The 7-kilometer cable car will serve as the primary method of cross-border movement. While most of the route spans Russian territory, the system will function as a formal pedestrian checkpoint.
