The Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government recorded 1.1 million mainland visitors during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday.

Among the mainland visitors visited Hong Kong, 45 percent of them were overnight visitors.

"It takes 16 to 18 minutes from Shenzhen North to Hong Kong, which is very convenient."
SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): MR. ZHANG, Tourist
"It is very convenient, whether with the MTR or the Airport Express, and for people coming to Hong Kong for the first time, I think it is easy to explore the places."
Large-scale events including the National Day Fireworks Display, attracted more than 600,000 visitors.
The HKSAR government will review various operations in order to prepare for its future coordination work and enhancement of visitors' experience, said Kevin Yeung, secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of the HKSAR government.
