Normal travel between mainland, Hong Kong resumes

Normal travel between mainland and Hong Kong resumed as various control points linking Shenzhen and Hong Kong reopened on Sunday morning.

The progressive and orderly reopening of Shenzhen-Hong Kong boundary control points marked the first step of the resumption of normal personnel exchanges between mainland and Hong Kong over the past three years.

Upon arrival at Shenzhen Bay Port, many travelers were emotional when seeing their families. "I am going home to see my family. I feel very excited," said Mr. Zhang, "After normal travel resumed,I believe Hong Kong will get better, and so will our motherland."

Seven border checkpoints will stay open in the first stage of border reopening, including three ports - Shenzhen Bay Port, Hong Kong Airport, and the Hong Kong Port connecting to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
