On February 13, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the reporter learned from the Huanggang Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station that with a large number of Hong Kong citizens returning one after another, as well as many mainland residents who went to Hong Kong for shopping and leisure or traveling abroad to embark on the return journey in advance, Huanggang and Futian ports reproduced the scene of "busy at both ends" of entry and exit for many periods.
According to the statistics of the Huanggang Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the Lunar New Year (9-12), nearly 680,000 people entered and exited through Huanggang and Futian ports. Among them, more than 550,000 passengers entered and exited Futian Port.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Huanggang Border Inspection Station, it was sunny and warm and sunny during the Spring Festival this year, which greatly stimulated people's desire to travel. A large number of Hong Kong residents come to Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta for entertainment, family and friend visits, and family reunions, while many mainland residents go to Hong Kong to experience the unique flavor of the Chinese New Year or travel abroad to celebrate the Spring Festival. In the past few days, the flow of passengers from the south to the north has gathered in Shenzhen, causing the flow of passengers to enter and exit the Huanggang and Futian ports to continue to rise. As in previous years, the immigration management police of the station gave up reuniting with their families, sticking to their posts, strictly controlling and performing their duties in a civilized manner, and dedicated themselves to creating a safe, smooth, warm and peaceful port atmosphere for Chinese and foreign inbound passengers with their warm service and sincere smiles.
On the 13th, the entry direction of Huanggang and Futian ports intermittently ushered in a short small peak in the morning, and the overall passenger flow was stable and orderly. The pressure on the outbound direction is greater, and the peak of passenger flow concentration begins at 9 o'clock and lasts until 12 o'clock, and a new round of outbound passenger flow concentration peak is ushered in around 14 o'clock.
The Huanggang Border Checkpoint predicts that the peak of multiple waves of Hong Kong passenger returns will continue until 10 p.m. Especially at the Huanggang Port, which has 24-hour customs clearance, there may be a small controllable peak in the flow of inbound and outbound passengers at night.
On the same day, the port site was crowded and busy, and the police on duty opened sufficient inspection channels in advance to improve the efficiency of police use, so as to achieve rapid peak shaving and dynamic peak shaving to help passengers clear customs smoothly, and the port was always safe, smooth and orderly.
As of 16 o'clock on the same day, the police on duty have inspected more than 110,000 passengers entering and exiting through Huanggang and Futian ports.
【Travel Reminder】
Huanggang Border Inspection Station warmly reminds the majority of Chinese and foreign passengers entering and leaving the country:
Affected by factors such as the increase in short-distance tourists in the later part of the long holiday and the return of people to their usual places of residence, Huanggang and Futian ports will continue to usher in the peak of inbound and outbound passenger flow.
Please arrange your itinerary reasonably, try to stagger the peak, choose the port to travel, and avoid the peak hours of inbound and outbound passenger flow at Huanggang Port from 21:00 to 1:30 the next morning, the entry from 10:00 to 15:00 at Futian Port, and the peak hours of outbound passenger flow from 9:00 to 11:00 and 19:00 to 22:00; If you encounter difficulties during customs clearance, you can call the 12367 service hotline of the National Immigration Administration or ask the immigration management police on duty at the scene for help at any time.
