Cross-strait direct mail starts in Lhasa

Special Report: Focus on Tibet

BEIJING, Dec. 30 -- Tibetans could enjoy the postal business services such as mail packages by air, land, sea or EMS directly from Tibet to Taiwan since Dec. 29.

Chen Kexin, deputy manager of TAR Post operation department said: "In the past, it always cost long time to mail a letter to Taiwan. Because all the letters need to stop at Hong Kong then to Taiwan. Now the direct mail can not only save time, but also provide the direct inquiry services for senders."

Besides, the charges of all the types of postal service will follow the national standard.
