Amid holiday, duty calls at Dalian ports

Police serving at the entry and exit frontier inspection station in Dalian, Liaoning province, kept working as usual during the Spring Festival holiday, ensuring the clearance of inbound and outbound vessels at the 37 docks situated along the city's 2,211-kilometer-long coastline.

"We always arrive at the dock in advance to await the vessels and conduct border inspections as soon as they dock," said Yu Lu, who was on duty at the Dalianwan fishing port in Ganjingzi district on Feb 13, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
