According to statistics from the Shenzhen General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection, as of December 26th, the Huanggang Checkpoint has inspected over 70 million entries and exits this year, a year-on-year increase of 36.9%, with an average daily inspection of 190,000 people. It has also released more than 4.1 million entries and exits of transportation vehicles, marking a year-on-year increase of 38.2%.

"We just came back from a concert in Hong Kong, and the 24-hour customs clearance here makes it very convenient to travel between Shenzhen and Hong Kong!" On December 26th, a Shenzhen resident and his friends returned from Hong Kong through the Huanggang Checkpoint. Even at 2:00 AM, the port was still bustling with people.

The "night-time economy" has brought a surge in cross-city consumption and a series of events in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. This year, the Huanggang Checkpoint, which operates 24/7, has welcomed over 5.36 million entries at night (from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM the next day), with a total inspection volume exceeding 16 million, a year-on-year increase of 42.8%.

As an important land port connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the Futian Checkpoint is favored by passengers for its convenient transportation and efficient customs services, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Huanggang Checkpoint's travel inspection. This year, the Futian Checkpoint has repeatedly set new records for daily entries and exits, with a peak of 230,000 people in a single day and a total inspection volume exceeding 54 million, a year-on-year increase of 35.4%.

Recently, the National Immigration Administration has fully relaxed and optimized China's visa-free transit policy. To effectively handle the entry and exit inspections of foreign passengers, the Huanggang Checkpoint has set up small units for precise and overlapping inspections, added foreign language guidance signs for customs clearance, and established a multi-lingual service volunteer team, continuously polishing the national gate business card that showcases China's style and image.

This year, the Huanggang Checkpoint has handled entry and exit procedures for more than 790,000 foreign passengers, a year-on-year increase of 93%. Among them, it has inspected over 400,000 inbound foreign passengers, and about 26.8% (more than 100,000) of the inbound foreign passengers have enjoyed the visa-free policy.

Regarding the customs clearance experience, passengers have the most say. On December 26th, Mr. Jackson and his family, who were entering China for the first time, passed through the Futian Checkpoint. The immigration police patiently guided them through the inspection process, and the "fast customs clearance" and "quality service" received praise as "convenient, enthusiastic, efficient, perfect!".
