Over 1,000 visitors have visited Hong Kong's Po Pin Chau trail during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, testing the city's new real-name reservation system. The system, introduced earlier this month, aims to manage visitor numbers and reduce pressure on the popular geological attraction. The reservation scheme applies to selected weekends and holiday periods, including the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival period from September 25 to 27 and the mainland's National Day "golden week" from October 1 to 7.
A maximum of 2,000 people can enter the Po Pin Chau section each day under the arrangement, with bookings made through the travel platform Klook using visitors' real names and identity document details.
