Huanggang generates vast business opportunities: DAB

The DAB expressed delight over the opening of the Huanggang port on Friday, highlighting how it will enhance Greater Bay Area connectivity and tourism. Party vice-chairman and lawmaker Brave Chan noted that the port serves as a bridge between Hong Kong and mainland cities while providing ample business opportunities. This aligns with Chief Executive John Lee's vision of fostering soft connectivity, hard connectivity, and connectivity of hearts within the Greater Bay Area, which includes Hong Kong, Macao, and Guangdong.

Chan emphasized the port's popularity, aiming to attract more high-end tourists to Hong Kong for spending. However, New Territories North constituency lawmaker Yiu Ming voiced concerns about potential traffic congestion in San Tin and nearby major roads due to increased passenger flows during peak hours and holidays. He suggested that authorities should consider expanding bus routes connecting the port to the city's railway network to alleviate crowding issues.
