People across the Taiwan Straits have taken more than 300,000 trips via two passenger ferries which sail on sea routes between Pingtan in Fujian province and Taiwan.
A passenger ferry operating routes between Pingtan county in Fujian and Taiwan will be better protected thanks to a new pact with a marine rescue agency signed on Aug 18.
October 9 marked a historical day in marine travel across the Taiwan Straits as a new ship route linking Pingtan in Fujian province and Taipei in Taiwan was officially opened.
