HONG KONG, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- A record high of over 314 million passengers passed through Hong Kong's control points in 2018, up 5.1 percent from the previous year, the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government said on Friday.

The total number of visitor arrivals to Hong Kong exceeded 65.14 million in 2018, representing a 11.4-percent increase as compared with that of 2017.

Visitor arrivals from the mainland was 50.8 million, an increase of 15 percent from 2017.

Among the visitor arrivals last year, 14.39 million visitors traveled through the Airport Control Point, while over 45.93 million visitors and 4.82 million visitors passed through land control points and sea control points respectively.

The Hong Kong section of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge had been operated smoothly since the opening, said Director of Immigration Tsang Kwok-wai.

To meet the demand of economic and social development of the Mainland and Hong Kong, the boundary point at Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai would be completed this year, said Tsang.
