Full cross-border travel resumes

Cross-border travel between the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao fully resumed with no COVID-19 restrictions, including no quota for arrivals on either side, from today.

Shenzhen had previously reopened three land checkpoints — Futian, Shenzhen Bay and Wenjindu — and two sea checkpoints — Shekou and Shenzhen Airport Fuyong Terminal at the initial stage of mainland border reopening with Hong Kong.

The other three land crossings between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, including Luohu and Huanggang checkpoints, which had been offering passenger and vehicle cross-border travel services, and Liantang Checkpoint, which had vehicle cross-border travel services and started to offer passenger cross-border services this morning, all became operational today.
