The Immigration Department estimated on Thursday (Oct.10) that about 1.76 million people will cross the land boundary checkpoints to and from the Chinese mainland during the coming Chung Yeung festive period.
It represents an increase of 19.1 percent as compared with the same period last year, the department said.
It said the peak period of cross-boundary traffic during the Chung Yeung festive period would fall between Oct. 11 and Oct. 15,2002.
