After 00 Hong Kong Railway fans take the high-speed rail to Shenzhen North Station: 19 minutes is not enough

The Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail (the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail) was officially opened to traffic on the 23rd. Among the more than 500 passengers who took the first train at Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, two "flash" figures were taking pictures all the way. They are not only the Hong Kong youths born and raised, but also the two "post-00s" super "rail fans" who have witnessed all important moments in the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail in recent years.

At around 3 a.m. on the 23rd, both Mr. Li and Mr. Wang, both 18 years old, had already started from their homes and went to West Kowloon Station as scheduled. These two like-minded young people have witnessed many important moments in recent years, such as the opening day of the West Kowloon Station of the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail and the ticket pre-sale day. At around 5 o'clock, the magnificent West Kowloon Station entered the vision of the two young people. Today, they will personally experience a historic moment in the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail-the official opening to traffic.

On September 23, the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail was officially opened for operation. People take selfies in front of the car. China News Agency issued Zhang Qianqian photo "The high-speed rail is a completely different means of transportation in Hong Kong. I believe it can bring a new experience to the people of Hong Kong. We want to witness this history!" Mr. Li told a reporter from China News Agency while waiting for the security check.

In order to remember the historical moment of the opening of the high-speed rail to traffic, he deliberately brought a SLR camera to record the landscape of each station and the details of the train interior. Mr. Wang, who is beside him, brought a selfie stick, and can't wait to use his mobile phone to broadcast the whole process of his ride to friends on social networks.

At 6 o'clock exactly, the MTR started the ticket checking process. I saw the two of them interspersed from left to right, and quickly "flashed" to the front of the crowd, shooting the environment inside the station on the departure layer. When they stepped into the departure hall, they immediately held up the camera "crazy" and kept pressing the shutter, in order to record the most images in the shortest time.

"Prepare, 1, 2, 3!" After going through the security check and exiting Hong Kong's "e road", when they walked to the yellow border of the two ports, they stood side by side deliberately, and then solemnly shouted 3 times, then Stride across this boundary, which symbolizes the implementation of "one place, two inspections," and facilitates passengers' clearance.

"The entire security check and immigration process only took 20 minutes. I even think the 45 minutes estimated by the MTR may be more." Mr. Wang told the China News Agency reporter after completing the entire customs clearance process. He believes that "two inspections in one place" is indeed convenient and efficient.

He who chose to use the self-service channel to clear customs at the mainland ports even praised the quick response of the customs gates. “As soon as the documents were almost put down, it sensed that it was much faster than the Shenzhen Bay Port.” He explained that when clearing the Shenzhen Bay port, It is necessary for the entire vehicle to get off the vehicle and complete the immigration procedures before getting on the vehicle to move on. I feel that such an arrangement is more inconvenient.

As the escalator slowly descended, the high-speed rail "Dynamic" appeared in front of the two people. They were excited and ran to the train platform, and then took pictures of each other in front of the No. 3 car door. Then, while the train hadn't departed, they had already got on the train and got off the train again, racing against time to take pictures of the appearance of the train, and then "flashing back" with satisfaction.

After a round of "flash", Mr. Li, who was busy after sitting, said to the reporter: "I am very touched. I can finally get on this first train!"

Ten minutes later, "Dynamic" drove from the underground tunnel to the ground section of Shenzhen. They were immediately attracted by the unexpected scenery outside the window and hurriedly looked out of the window.

Soon, when they saw the train passing by a train parked at Futian Station, Mr. Wang excitedly pointed out the window and said, "Look! It's Fuxing!" Then he immediately picked up the phone and took pictures with all his attention.

"The high-speed rail is really fast, I feel I have to get off without reacting." When approaching the Shenzhen North Railway Station, Mr. Li said tentatively, "I want to sit longer. The 19-minute drive is a bit ‘not enough’."

After getting off the car, the two quickly ran to the front of the car and stood at the front of the car with "MTR Dynamic" to take pictures. The two of them held up the gesture of "Dingguagua", leaving "ghost images" with incomparably brilliant smiles.

At parting, the two told reporters that the completion of the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail is very beneficial to the development of Hong Kong. Because the SAR government is now vigorously promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, whether for tourism or business, the high-speed rail not only makes Hong Kong’s cross-border transportation more convenient, but also allows passengers to have one more travel option. They are right to witness the opening of the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail. I am very proud. (Finish)
