According to Zhuhai's border inspection authorities, from Tuesday to Friday—the first four days of the Spring Festival holiday—over 454,000 passenger trips and more than 69,000 vehicle trips were recorded. That's an increase of 22% and 32% respectively compared to last year! 📈
But wait, there's more! In 2024, daily passenger flows at the port exceeded 100,000 on 50 days—a tenfold surge from 2023! 😲 It's clear that more and more people are choosing this route for their travels.
