The border that divides Hong Kong and mainland China reopened on January 8, 2023, for the first time in 3 years. Travellers are now being allowed to cross freely without having to undergo quarantines after mainland authorities dropped the nation’s zero-Covid policy. A daily quota of 60,000 people is reserved for travellers crossing the border in each direction, and they must also have negative Covid tests done within 48 hours of departure. Post video producer Llewellyn Cheung documented his trip on the first day of the reopening, when he witnessed reunions of friends and families, as well as problems that still linger after the extended border closure.

I can understand the feeling and reminded me of scenes when Singapore re-opened the borders with neighbouring Malaysia around 9 months ago .The border city of Johor Bahru became alive..... Lot of emotions for everyone on that particular day
And the chinese going to jb to hoard bread and yakult
@@czech8074 🤣🤣🤣
@@albertlam1249 its true aint it?
@@czech8074 a few hundred thousand malaysians cross the border to work and study in sg. It's not only those who cross for shopping. Don't be so smug at ur ignorance.
@@veryboliao im talking about sg chinese buying food and drinks only please calm down
So inspiring to see the human race, no matter where you are from coming together again. Especially after such a hard time in our recent history. Humanity has hope as long as their is love. Amazing indeed
This comment is so cringy it gave me explosive diarrhea.
Beautiful! Finally people and families reuniting after 3 years! Except for the "Health Declaration" mishap, the accesses to Shenzhen at Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau is very smooth, orderly and organized.
And bring back more covid.....
It's the border management's failure at that location on the health declaration code. There's a website to fill it out without having wechat.
after three years of Covid quarantine, I don't mind whatever they bring into mainland and I will pray for economic prosperity and healthy for both Hongkong people and mainlanders
Thanks for this video! I have to enter Guangzhou from HK since my father passed away there and I was really stressed out about the paperwork. Seems like it’s not that bad. Can anyone confirm that as long as you have a pcr test taken within 48 hours, you’ll be fine to enter China? What if my certificate is in English only?
it doesnt matter, english certificate is always accepted
Make sure u got WeChat too
@@ObscureSampology Wechat's not necessary but it does make things easier in China. There's a website for health declaration without Wechat. The boarder management failed at figuring that out when the option exists already.
overly exaggerated. If you wanted to see your "family" so badly, just go through the quarantine. Didn't need to wait 3 years.
As a Hong Kong we this will make visiting my family in inner China much easier. Thank you to the developers of this transportation
As for the QR code and the whole process, I wasn't too surprised but felt annoyed 'coz that seemed to be quite common for products and services provided; they were not too detailed in their QA, process mappings & CX design.
Llewelyn, looks like we both have an eerie resemblance, at least from the forehead, and eyes, bro. From Canada. Hope your travels remains safety, and fruitful. Guong Si Fa Chai.
People travel regularly between HK and China it was of important to open borders again
Nice to see its opening again. I would love do travel from Hong Kong to China when things get back to normal. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year 👍👍👍
Actually, they have a website to fill the e-health declaration form.(it means you don't have to use Wechat to scan that QR Code) But I don't know why they didn't put that website's on notice board.
Was looking for this reply. It's the failure of execution at that specific location and not well trained employee to help with the situation.
If you don't have wechat account in China, It simply means you are not able to do anything and CCP never gonna mind it.
I am so so happy for everyone. But how come Shenzhen's boarder is still closed?
Thank you so much for your help & putting in the tough effort!
They should also build an underwater rail system connecting Chinese city Fuzhou with Taipei for better people to people connectivity
I don't think taiwan will agree lol taiwan government is always afraid of china increasing influences
I don't have a smartphone. What would have happened to me trying to get back into Hong Kong?
KEEP us informed like weekly basis 😉 👍 😀
If you check their luggages, you can find many products inside
มอเทอร์คอมแบ๊ค
even they've reopened, it still feels like 2021 ( at least not 2020)
so did they actually check ur negative test result when you came back from mainland to HK ?
Time to pay up the mistresses 🎉
There is no free lunch in this world. But I know a few places offering free vegetarian meals. Purify your desire and mind. 🙏
They've been waiting 3 years for that mistress pay . Lol
F*ck lord, 😄
Thanks for sharing! Been to HK three times so far
the guy who waved at 1:20-1:23 😭😭😁😂😂
Just fly from mainland to hong kong. Much safer and no we chat needed.
lol, they require a negative PCR test.
If i have china student visa, do i need HongKong visa.?
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Besicly what document inmigración chek
They can finally celebrate new year with family.
About time ....
I'm going to Hong Kong from the mainland. The health code fourm doesn't ask for pictures or details on the testing site. So do I have to print my covid test or does showing the health code result on ali pay work before boarding the plane
Do you need to show your passport when crossing the border ?
Taiwan*
@@medicineworld6809 yes or ID if your chinese
@Silvadic no one coniders Taiwan a country not even Taiwan. They literally call them selves the republic of China
@@FusionWarriorsOC tai who?
01:21 hello old man
Out of date I think.
Absolute great border control.....I'm jealous as a United States Citizen
Still need PCR test ?
นิจจาดำ
Great reporting
Why is the guy in 1:58 wearing a cap of a German Wealthmanagement company,, which is written in German?
Let the animal Chine cross the Russia Border are they allowed in
Overseas Chinese must still register online first? I intend to go Shen Zhen from Hong Kong.
How about now, are they still requiring rt pcr test?
We also use QR codes here and I miss just using paper and pen just because I usually don't have data on my phone.
Try and go to Macau on the longest bridge by bus . Enjoy and all the best .
I feel bad for the Chinese there, because they have to obey the zero covid case.
Anyone from Hong Kong please?
germany will take kaliningrad finland will take leningrad and murmansk.
0:57 so cute ;)
Who cares……?
Bro lives in china without wechat or alipay 💀 💀
He lives in HK. WeChat is basically a tracking device.
@@HKim0072 so just like Facebook and etc? Nice.
@@UnoriginallyOriginal lol, FB. Amusing that you would use that comparison. Tells me a lot.
@@HKim0072 but it *does* track you though, the fact you’re not even aware of that says a lot also 🤕🤣
@@HKim0072 what do you think google/android , facebook , apple, yahoo do? Read about snowden PRISM
For foreigner ( non HK resident ) that transit in HK then going to shenzhen via Lowu, is covid test needed ?
wondering the exact same thing!! ;(
Does anyone know if foreign visitors can now apply for China Visa in HK?
no. Oz i speculate you are from australia. australians must apply in apply in australia.
Enjoy your trip.
Weird
Travelling from hongkong to Shanghai
I wish all the best for the chinese people!

lol and ccp has the audacity to say rest of the world implementing similar verification is discriminating.
China's PCR test is applied to all countries without discrimination to prevent importation of positive cases. Is it the same? Think carefully before trolling if you're capable of thinking. 😂
It literally is. Typical yellow peril fearmongering
@@maxdc988 yea right, so apply to lost control country is discrimination, dont even get started by "scientifically prevention".
u sound dumb...the west allow every illegals in without a test but rich chinese tourists..nope can't have that
@@maxdc988 lol preventing the importation of Covid ? Do you know how many cases locally there are each day in China?
Still too much restrictions!!! No more tests please, and no more masks!!! 3 years people, 3 years lost of our lifes!! We are so tired of this!! You can NOT call this free travel, because it is not.
Lol being required to put your private information into a 3rd party platform is the most CCP thing ever.
That is the filthy trick of CCP always with every thing, taking advantage of any chance of trivial things to profit from.
We welcome you back! And when everything is over...
heh you owes us the personal info you NEED to give us!
CCP:
You made the DUMB decision to visit us, now pay the price you think is worth right?
You can go cashless too with that app. Oops your third world county doesn't have that. 🤗
idk if thats still something to brag about
it’s controlled by ccp. i would say that’s worse
meh its a tossup between the global corporate companies and the ccp these days anyways. Either that or somewhere people cant afford phones in the first place.
Once again, it's Chinese New Year. Lunar New Year is different day on Lunar Calendar which had being abandoned long ago.
What tests are they using, PCR?
Big deal about how hard or tech savvy. Considered the positive side that now the borders are now reopened. All these fuzz about tech is just a way to sensationalize the news.
japan will take the kurils sakhalin and vladivostok south korea will take north korea.

♥️♥️♥️♥️vanezuela
they live a better love than you
Well, Tibet has always been part of China since the Qing Empire and its predecessor. When China was govern by the Republic of China or the Kuomintang, they could not care less about Tibet, So many decades later Tibet almost declared itself independent by Dalai Llama. But Chairman Mao wouldn't let that a slide.
Yeah, Tibet is freed long ago... Free from slavery and caste system, free from failed CIA operation and feel free to visit... Cheers..
When the indians are desperate
Free Kashmir and Jammu from Dalit Hindiot rule, #GaaaiHind mr Banjeet Raj saar
China should have open up long time ago instead of letting their people suffer and break down its economy. There is a saying that it is easy to break something you built for years but it will takes a long time to grow back.
China need to play catch up but will the trust be there to believe them ? Its administration needs to be aware of their failures to its people and need to have a free hand to their private sector to grow with minimal intervention.
There is also a concern that its young talents will outflow because the younger generation do not flavour its old administration system of governance. Thus, causing uproar and several protests first time in history nationwide.
Hopefully wisdom is need going forward. Wishing China well in the coming years
Kamu tidak mengerti apapun tentang orang china 😂
Building the freedom to travel on roads paved with millions of dead and sick is not the most honorable thing in this world.😌
百万？你从哪里得到的数据？bbc？
@@NMHTEKLU I was talking about the world, That you feel alluded to is not my fault. And about the statistics, the official ones plus collapse of health systems due to deaths, hospitalizations and medical appointments do not lie.
Not go back crying to your cave 😗
@@fanatla3195 Okay, I got it wrong. Can you tell me where your statistics come from？I am in China, and now our government publishes epidemic information every month. According to statistics, the infection rate in my province is more than 85%.About 85000000 has been infected and recovered.At the same time, we are reminded that we are going to experience the second peak of infection. I have been infected and recovered after taking cold medicine. I want to know more statistics. Can you copy them and share them with me? Thank you.
Feels like Germany in 1989, families were reunited.
Welcome to Zombieland.
That's in downtown Philadelphia...

The real "zombieland" is in downtown Philadelphia...waaaay before the pandemic.
wait, you can travel to China by train?
I always thought HongKong is an island
and China, you dissapoint me
in Year of The Rabbit, I expect Bunny Girl cosplay to welcome me
Only part of hong kong is a island
Stay ignorant
There're two parts of Hong Kong, the one that connected with the mainland and the one that is called The Hong Kong Island. So, yes you can travel to China or vice versa by train.
Yes, you can take the MTR there or through the high speed
You can drive over the border to Shenzen
Why SCMP always have bananas as their journalists?
Cuz white expats look down upon the locals
??????
The V is protection from nothing ! You were all fooled ! 😂
Why are they wearing those rags on their faces....
Oh you mean can travel thru train from Hong Kong to Mainland.
Oh! I thought it was a woman! So hard to tell nowadays 😛
I could care less about these. Me living in Taiwan is way better
Lol said the frog under the well.

@@FusionWarriorsOC you ain't a bot
@@FusionWarriorsOC loool be prepared to have a 5 star Red flag in your house if you don't want to become cannon fodder SOON ... lol
Taiwan is an island WITHOUT mainland China - Taipei would be a MORE DESERTED island :
This is a super spreader just like the New Year
