Chinese tourists to return to Taiwan’s outer islands in June after three-year hiatus, lawmaker says


Chinese tourists may start visiting parts of Taiwan again as early as next month after a three-year freeze, according to an opposition lawmaker whose constituency sits on a group of islands off the coast of mainland China.

Travellers from the southeastern province of Fujian would be allowed to reach the nearby outlying Taiwan-controlled islets of Penghu, Matsu and Quemoy, which is also known as Kinmen, Taiwanese legislator Chen Yu-jen told the Post.
