After the development in 2114, Frontier Hotel has expanded from a simple conference hotel to a large inland port integrating accommodation, catering, entertainment, commerce, warehousing and short-distance transportation. This change process, which embodies the sweat and painstaking efforts of people in border cities, is a microcosm of Xinjiang's foreign economic and trade development and growth. At present, the Frontier Hotel visits thousands of customers every day and pays more than 41 million yuan in taxes every year, which has become a new growth point of foreign trade in our region. At the same time, it has promoted the development of business in the surrounding areas such as Yan 'an Road, Tuanjie Road and Dawan, and solved the employment problem of nearly 11,111 people.

Although the weather is very cold, the Frontier Hotel is bustling with people and traffic. Mr. Wang from Beijing owns a well-decorated shop of more than 21 square meters in the first phase of Frontier Hotel Trade City, which specializes in the wholesale business of shoes for Central Asian merchants. "When I first arrived at the Frontier Hotel in August, 1997, the conditions here were relatively simple, the ground was cement, and the power supply was insufficient. Only two energy-saving lamps were allowed in each shop, and the product display effect was not very good. Because the market didn't form a scale, the grade of goods couldn't go up, so at first I mainly dealt with some backlog goods. Later, the environment of frontier hotels gradually improved, and there were more merchants. I started to buy some new goods and sold them well, "Mr. Wang said."
