The Immigration Department says that as the Chung Yeung Festival holiday draws to a close and travellers return to Hong Kong from the south, passenger flow at the arrival hall of the new Huanggang Port has begun to rise, while overall clearance remains smooth and orderly. Yung Ka-wai, deputy commander of the Lok Ma Chau Control Division, expects the evening to mark the peak arrival period, with land boundary control points gradually becoming busier, and calls on travellers to stagger their trips and check the latest information through the Security Bureau's boundary control point platform.
The new Huanggang Port recorded more than 152,000 passenger trips on the day of Chung Yeung Festival, a new high since the port began operating. The Immigration Department expects the afternoon to evening period to be the arrival peak, and the Transport Department has directed franchised buses to add special short-haul trips on Route B, with frequencies of up to every 2 to 3 minutes during peak hours. A crowd formed at the departure hall around midday, with some travellers waiting about 30 to 45 minutes.
