The new Huanggang Port checkpoint opens with a joint clearance system and new bus routes

Travellers now only need to go through immigrant clearance once

The new Huanggang Port checkpoint opens with a joint clearance system and new bus routes

On October 12, the new Huanggang Port checkpoint opened, introducing a collaborative inspection and joint clearance system that simplifies travel between Hong Kong and mainland China. This system streamlines the immigration process, reducing the need for two separate checks to just one. Foreign travelers no longer need to undergo manual clearance if they possess an electronic channel, making their journey more efficient.

Huanggang Port boasts 134 electronic channels and 68 manual counters, providing ample options for travelers. Registration for the electronic channels can be completed in advance through the Hong Kong e-Channel mobile app or at service kiosks. Cross-boundary private cars can also benefit from the streamlined process, allowing drivers to remain in their vehicles while passengers disembark for immigration checks.

To further enhance convenience, new bus routes have been established, connecting Huanggang Port to various neighborhoods such as Kai Tak, Wu Kai Sha, and Siu Sai Wan, as well as areas like Mong Kok and Tuen Mun. These expanded transportation options are available at the public transport interchange on the 2/F of the port building.
