Many Hong Kong travelers took advantage of the new Huanggang Port on Saturday as they prepared to head to the mainland at the beginning of the long Chung Yeung Festival weekend. Visitors expressed their satisfaction with the new facility. Mr. So, who was planning a day trip to the mainland, found the port "quite beautiful" and said he would likely choose it in the future as it is larger.
Ms. Chan, traveling with friends, noted that the journey from Yuen Long Plaza took only 20 to 25 minutes, calling the port's location "very convenient." Ms. Cheung mentioned that she was able to take a bus directly to the checkpoint, rather than having to change from a bus to a train, which saved her over HK$20 in time and travel costs per journey.
Mr. Fan, who often visits the mainland during his free time, found the Huanggang Port more convenient than other crossings from his location. Customs and Excise Commissioner Chan Tsz-tat inspected operations at the crossing, where ambassadors were present to assist travelers.
