After nearly three years of customs closure, Hong Kong and the Mainland resumed the first phase of customs clearance this Sunday (8th).
A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" visited yesterday (9th) the favorite places for Hong Kong people to pass the customs - Shenzhen Bookstore and Cocopark, a large shopping mall. It can be seen that the flow of people is as large as before, and it has returned to normal like Hong Kong.
Restaurants stationed in shopping malls pointed out that the popularity has indeed increased in the past two days, and it is expected that the business will increase by about 10% after the customs clearance of the two places.

Cocopark restaurants are mostly full in the afternoon
Before the epidemic, many Hong Kong people often took advantage of holidays to go to Shenzhen to eat, drink and have fun, and large shopping malls were their first choice.
The reporter went to Cocopark, one of the large shopping malls close to Futian Port, to observe yesterday. It can be seen that the flow of people has not decreased due to the severity of the epidemic. With the customs clearance between Hong Kong and the Mainland, more Hong Kong people also go there.
The cosmetics store in the shopping mall did not see too many customers, but the nearby restaurants were more than half full in the afternoon.
"Hey Tea", a mainland Internet celebrity tea shop that once opened a branch in Hong Kong, was also full, with a constant flow of people.
