Hong Kong residents embarked on a massive travel spree during the Easter holiday, with over 2.27 million outbound trips recorded—nearly 84% of which were northbound to the Chinese mainland. Preliminary data from the Immigration Department revealed the surge as families and adventurers capitalized on the long weekend. 🧳✈️
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) became the star of the show, with its Zhuhai port handling a record-breaking 19,000+ vehicles on Monday alone. That’s more than the peak during March’s travel rush! 🌟 The 55-kilometer marvel, the world’s longest sea bridge, continues to redefine regional connectivity, turning what used to be a 4-hour drive into a breezy 45-minute journey. 🚗💨
Analysts say the numbers reflect growing cross-border integration and Hong Kong’s appetite for mainland tourism and business opportunities. Meanwhile, social media buzzed with travelers sharing snapshots of dim sum feasts in Guangzhou and tech hauls from Shenzhen. 📸🥟
