Shanghai's relaxed visa policies paid dividends in 2017, with the city's ports handling a record number of passenger visits, according to the latest official data.
People entered or exited China more than 43.7 million times via the eastern metropolis, up from 42.4 million in 2016 and 37.5 million in 2015, the Shanghai General Station of Immigration Inspection said on Monday.
The vast majority - 35.6 million - traveled through Pudong International Airport.
