They also organized the inspection channels effectively, strictly enforced the measure that queues for Chinese citizens should not exceed 30 minutes, and coordinated closely with other departments to ensure smooth flow of passengers during peak periods and comprehensive support for transportation. During the May Day holiday, entry and exit at national ports were safe, efficient, and orderly. This article is compiled from the "National Immigration Administration." Editor: Feng Qiuyi.
