The "May Day" holiday witnessed the new progress of integration in the Greater Bay Area through "brushing records" of passenger flow at Shenzhen Hong Kong ports
2023-05-04
During the May Day holiday, major ports along the Shenzhen Hong Kong border once again experienced a surge in "two-way" passenger flow, breaking a new record for daily inbound and outbound passenger flow since the comprehensive resumption of customs clearance. The influx of people witnesses the deepening of integration between the mainland and Hong Kong, as well as the new progress in the integration and development of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. On May 3rd, at Luohu Port in Shenzhen, there was a surge of people in the exit and entry halls. Some passengers were carrying large and small bags, while others were carrying children and elderly people with smiles on their faces. Huang Xiaohan, who is studying at City University of Hong Kong, is preparing to return to Hong Kong to study after a few days of vacation in Shenzhen. When I came to Shenzhen, there were already many mainland tourists to major attractions in Hong Kong. Later, I heard from my friend that throughout the May Day holiday, more and more tourists came to Hong Kong to shop and consume, "Huang Xiaohan said. Tan Aiyi, who lives in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, and her daughter Wang Xuening are traveling together in Shenzhen. We used to come to Shenzhen frequently and were very familiar with it. After resuming customs clearance, we immediately came over frequently for consumption. This time, we will do nail salons and eat various delicacies, which is really cost-effective, "Wang Xuening said with a smile. Tan Aiyi introduced that she is in the jewelry business in Hong Kong and often comes to the mainland to purchase goods. "With the resumption and deepening of communication, I believe that both the mainland and Hong Kong will develop better. Data shows that since the May Day holiday (from April 29th to 14:00 on May 3rd), major ports in Shenzhen have experienced a peak in passenger flow, with over 2.47 million inbound and outbound passenger flows. Among them, the inbound and outbound passenger flow reached 634000 on April 30th, breaking a new record since the comprehensive restoration of customs clearance. On the afternoon of the 3rd, at the West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station in Hong Kong, the ticket sales screen in the departure lobby showed that there were still sufficient tickets to Shenzhen North and Futian Station before 7 pm that night. Some tickets to Shenzhen North and Futian Station after 7 pm were sold out. Mr. Zhang and his wife, a mainland tourist traveling to Hong Kong, finished their 4-day journey and departed for Shenzhen to transfer. This is my first time taking the high-speed rail to Hong Kong, and after arriving in Shenzhen today, I will transfer back to my hometown Xi'an. "He said bluntly, not expecting the high-speed rail to be so fast and convenient to travel between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Ms. Zhang, a resident of Futian, Shenzhen, brought her child to "check in" the University of Hong Kong today. "Today's customs clearance process is smoother than expected, and when she returns to Shenzhen at night, she will take the Luomazhou Port. During a meeting with the media on May 2nd, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, stated that the SAR government has recently launched a series of "Happy Hong Kong" activities, which not only bring laughter to the citizens but also stimulate consumption and the economy. Hong Kong has also welcomed a five day "May Day" holiday from the mainland. On April 29th and 30th, over 760000 passengers entered the country, of which over 320000 were mainland visitors. It is estimated that over 600000 mainland tourists will come to Hong Kong during the May Day holiday this year. This series of large-scale events has stimulated tourism and consumption, boosting the Hong Kong economy, "said Li Jiachao. Recently, with the comprehensive resumption of customs clearance between the mainland and Hong Kong, the pace of Hong Kong's integration into the development of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has gradually accelerated. From April 21st to 24th, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and Legislative Council jointly visited mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area, covering various fields such as innovation, environmental protection, youth development, culture, art, and sports.
