Direct shipping services are established on a daily basis between Taiwan's Kinmen and Xiamen in Fujian province.

Direct travel between mainland China and Kinmen was opened in 2002, and there has been extensive tourism development on the island in anticipation of mainland tourists. Direct travel was suspended in 2003 as a result of the SARS outbreak, but has since resumed. Many Taiwanese businesspeople use this link to enter the Chinese mainland.
