The press tour began with a tour of the cross-border cableway under construction across the Amur River—the first such project in the world between Russia and China. The project is being implemented by “ARPI” (part of “Region Group”) as a resident of the “Amurskaya” ASEZ. The cableway will be 976 meters long, and cabins with a capacity of up to 110 people will travel across the river in 2.5 minutes.
The cable car will be able to carry 6,800 passengers daily in both directions, and 2.5 million annually. The terminal on the Russian side, measuring 26,000 square meters, will house shops, food outlets, duty-free shops, a panoramic restaurant, terraces, and a border checkpoint on four floors.
