[Explanation] At 10 am on August 18, the opening ceremony of the new passenger inspection area at Hengqin Port was held in the Departure Hall of the Passenger Inspection Building at Hengqin Port. People from all walks of life from Guangdong and Macao witnessed this moment together.

　　At 3 pm, the new passenger inspection area at Hengqin Port was officially opened, and the first batch of passengers at the port were welcomed.

　　In the afternoon, before the official opening of the port, there were long queues of mainland tourists waiting for customs clearance at the periphery of the port. The exchange delegation from Zhuhai was even more ready to set off early. In the Macau arrival area on the 2nd floor, the first batch of customs clearance passengers from Macau also appeared soon. Whether it is a self-service or manual passage, Macau passengers can complete two customs clearance procedures in a short time within one passage and quickly pass the customs.

　　This convenience is due to the significant improvement of the "software" at Hengqin Port, and the new customs clearance mode of "cooperative inspection and one-time release", allowing passengers to complete the entry and exit procedures only once in line, and the customs clearance time has changed from the original schedule. Half an hour is shortened to 30 seconds.

　　I feel that this mode of one inspection between the two places will be very helpful for the future residents to pass the customs, including the passage of tourists. It turned out that we passed through the Gongbei port. When there were a lot of people, there were crowds of people, but also to divide the flow. In the future, the order of the car to the customs clearance is very orderly, and the entire customs clearance process is very simple, which greatly facilitates the passage of our citizens and residents.

　　[Concurrent period] Macau tourist Mr. Yu

　　I believe it will be more convenient to communicate with people on both sides of Macau and Hengqin.

　　[Explanation] At Hengqin Port, the staff of Guangdong and Macao are in the same building, sharing facilities and equipment. During the construction process for several years, the staff of the two sides worked together to gradually resolve the legal system, engineering, management and technical differences between the two places. The problems brought about ensured the smooth opening of the new port.

　　In terms of various hardware facilities, Hengqin Port also has many bright spots.

　　This system was launched by the border inspection at Hengqin Port. The latest one is also the first in the country. An intelligent queuing waiting system. The simplest is the direct mode, which is aimed at the situation where the passenger flow is relatively small. Below, passengers can go straight through this passage. When the number of passengers grows to a certain level, we can change the second mode, switching to a snake (arrangement). It can be seen that the front row of this side has been changed, then passengers need to make a detour for a certain distance to enter the passage

　　[Explanation] It is understood that the new Hengqin Port is known as a "super port" and is a landmark project for the interconnection of infrastructure in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area under the "one country, two systems". It is expected to become the gateway to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area after the Gongbei Port. Another "super channel".
