(Beijing News) From today to February 17, about 9,700 China Muslims will make a pilgrimage to Mecca in batches, which will be the largest pilgrimage in China over the years.

Muslims participating in the Hajj will take 30 charter flights in batches, starting from four cities in China, including Lanzhou, Urumqi, Kunming and Peking, and heading for Mecca. In order to ensure the safe completion of this pilgrimage, the China authorities not only strengthened the training for pilgrims, but also equipped enough tour leaders and accompanying doctors.
