Taiwan compatriots with electronic travel passes can use self-service machines
at selected railway stations in the Chinese mainland, China Railway Corporation
said Tuesday.
This service has begun at railway stations with large
volumes of Taiwan compatriots in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai municipalities as
well as provinces of Guangdong, Hunan and Fujian, the corporation said in a
statement.
More such measures will make stations friendlier for Taiwan
compatriots, it added.
The Chinese mainland began issuing electronic
travel passes to Taiwan visitors starting September 2015 to replace paper
versions.
China's latest departure tax refund measures will allow overseas visitors to obtain instant refunds across more regions and give them up to 28 days to leave the country, making multi-city trips easier and encouraging longer stays and greater spending.
Uruguay will grant visa-free entry to Chinese citizens.
