China expects record 2.2 million border crossings per day during Dragon Boat Festival (opens in new tab)

China’s National Immigration Administration predicts an unprecedented 2.2 million daily border crossings during the 22-24 June Dragon Boat Festival, 11.7 percent higher than 2025. Holiday traffic is fuelled by revived outbound tourism, expanded visa-waiver programmes and returning overseas Chinese. Businesses should prepare for congestion, ensure travellers carry correct documents and monitor health advisories.
