With the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays approaching, migrant workers only need to take 4 days off to get a 9-day holiday. It is anticipated that many Hong Kong residents will travel to the mainland for leisure or to visit relatives, leading to potential surges in cross-border traffic at major border crossings. Kwiksure has integrated high-speed rail schedules for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, as well as border crossing times and real-time passenger flow information at major border crossings, to help travelers prepare for their holiday trips.

Port passenger flow forecast: Lo Wu/Futian/Shenzhen Bay are the top choices for travelers.

According to the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government Port Office, recent forecasts indicate that the Lo Wu, Futian, and Shenzhen Bay border crossings will be the preferred points of entry for travelers. October 3rd (Sat) is expected to be the peak day for both directions of passenger flow, with an estimated 980,000 passengers. The average daily passenger flow from October 1st to 7th is projected to reach 870,000. Authorities encourage travelers to "travel during off-peak times," suggesting that those needing to cross the border on peak days consider using other border crossings.

Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day Holidays | 3 Ways to Check Real-Time Passenger Flow at Ports

To avoid being pressured at checkpoints, you can make good use of the "Immigration Department Mobile Application”, ”Easy Boundary” and WeChat mini program “i Port” to instantly view crowd flows at border crossings of major ports in Shenzhen. With a phone in hand, you can easily manage your waiting time.

1. Immigration Department Mobile Application

The Hong Kong Immigration Department's mobile application provides real-time data updated every 15 minutes, showing the estimated departure and arrival status of all 8 land border crossings in Hong Kong (including Lo Wu, Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, etc.). The data is divided into three levels: "normal", "busy," and "very busy", making it one of the most valuable tools for cross-border travel to the mainland.

2. Easy Boundary

Easy Boundary is a one-stop platform designed specifically for planning cross-border trips, and it also has an official website. In addition to providing estimated border crossing times for Hong Kong residents and visitors, "Easy Boundary" also integrates vehicle queue information and traffic accident alerts to help travelers crossing by car or cross-border bus.

Launched by the Shenzhen Municipal Government Port Office, WeChat Mini Program “i Port” provides real-time customs clearance information and live video feeds from several major land and high-speed rail ports in Shenzhen (such as Lo Wu, Futian, Huanggang, Shenzhen Bay, Wenjindu, and Liantang). The feed updates approximately every 30 seconds, reflecting the most immediate port conditions. Citizens can directly view the passenger flow at the ports and decide whether to proceed.
