The first batch of customs-cleared passengers enter the Huanggang Port inspection area. Live view→

After seven years of upgrading and renovation, the Xinhuanggang Port connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong was completed. It was officially put into operation at 6:30 today, providing 24-hour customs clearance services for passengers and passenger vehicles. Follow the camera to see the scene directly.

CCTV reporter Wu Bing: At 6:30, the gate was officially opened, and the single building of the world's largest land port was officially operational. The first batch of customs clearance passengers have entered the inspection area in an orderly manner.

The inspection system is a highlight of this port upgrade and was independently developed by the Shenzhen Border Inspection Station. In the past, passengers traveling between Shenzhen and Hong Kong had to queue up twice and inspect twice; now they only need to line up once and collect information once, and the inspection departments in both places complete the inspection simultaneously in the background.

Let me introduce to you two sets of very ingenious institutional innovation facilities:

The unique "back-to-back" podium in China has on-site commanders from the Mainland and Hong Kong sitting on one wall. There is a window on the middle wall that can be opened with one click. During peak passenger flow or emergencies, both parties will immediately open a window for face-to-face discussions to achieve coordinated scheduling.

At the "side-by-side" manual inspection desk, a shortest dividing line separates the staff of the two places. On one side are the mainland immigration police, and on the other side are the Hong Kong Immigration Department staff working nearby. Passengers only need to queue once here to complete all inspection procedures on both sides.

In addition, the Xinhuanggang Port also uses many new technological means. For example, the command center here relies on a self-developed digital twin platform for the port, which can grasp the port passenger flow data, personnel and vehicle dynamics in real time, and automatically warn of abnormal situations.

Xinhuanggang Port has built an above-ground and underground three-dimensional transportation system and is connected to 5 rail transit and 5 bus lines. From the port, you can quickly reach Shenzhen Metro Station, reach popular business districts in 15 minutes, and have direct access to Huaqiang North in three stops.
