Driven by the travel enthusiasm during the Labor Day break, the passenger and vehicle traffic have soared to record levels at many transportation hubs in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Shenzhen North Railway Station, the largest railway interchange in the city, has set new passenger traffic records for two consecutive days, with 1,173,600 passengers on April 30, followed by a further increase to 1,251,400 on May 1.

Starting on the afternoon of April 30, the station has been flooded with large numbers of passengers traveling to destinations across the country.

To facilitate travelers, the station has deployed artificial intelligence cameras for congestion detection and passenger diversion, as well as robots offering free luggage-carrying services.

The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, the Greater Bay Area’s third mega bridge — which has shortened the travel time between the two cities to half an hour — also broke its record on May 1 with a traffic volume of 181,600 vehicles.

Hengqin Port, connecting the Macao Special Administrative Region and Zhuhai in Guangdong province, recorded over 10,000 vehicle crossings on April 30, marking its highest single-day traffic volume since opening.

Vehicle crossings at the port have exceeded 1 million so far this year, representing a 43.2 percent year-on-year increase.

As of April 27, passenger traffic through the Zhuhai Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge had exceeded 10 million this year. This year, the port has experienced more than 30 days on which daily passenger volume has surpassed 100,000, double the number of days compared to the same period last year.

Benefiting from China's expanded visa-free policies and its proximity to the Hong Kong International Airport, the mega bridge also saw a 70 percent year-on-year rise in foreign passengers, with over 172,000 having passed through as of April 27.

According to estimates from Trip.com, a leading online travel agency, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are expected to be the third and fourth most popular destinations for inbound tourism in China during the Labor Day holiday.

Before the holiday, some Chinese online travel agencies like Tongcheng Travel and Fliggy integrated AI into their travel planning services, enabling tourists to rapidly formulate customized travel itineraries.
