The border between Hong Kong and mainland China has been effectively shut since early 2020.
Other measures include China canceling flight capacity limits from Hong Kong and Macau and resuming flight transit to the mainland from the two cities, according to a Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office statement. China will require a 48-hour negative PCR test result for arrivals from Hong Kong, it said.
Easier travel is also an important boost for Hong Kong, which has struggled under the weight of pandemic controls that cut it off from the mainland, the city’s largest source of visitors and biggest trading partner. The financial hub, which welcomed almost 44 million arrivals from mainland China in 2019, probably contracted in 2022 for the third time in four years.
There’s currently a 3,500-person limit on the number of visitors coming from Hong Kong, and the mainland’s requirement for all inbound travellers to undergo five days of hotel quarantine.
