The 13th cross-Straits Book Fair will be held in Xiamen, Fujian province, from Oct 13 to 15 to strengthen cultural communication between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.
Hundreds of publishing houses will attend the event.
The fair has been held annually since 2005, with
Xiamen and Taipei taking turns as host city each year.
China has decided to extend its visa waiver policy to ordinary passport holders from Canada and the United Kingdom starting from Feb 17.
Forty-one new port-of-entry duty-free shops have been established nationwide, with Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport, Xiamen Wutong Passenger Wharf, and Xiamen International Cruise Center included on the list.
