More than 1,000 visitors gathered at Po Pin Chau, one of Hong Kong’s popular geological attractions, on the morning the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday began, according to the South China Morning Post. The turnout provided the first major holiday test for a new real-name reservation system introduced for the attraction. Visitors were seen moving towards the Po Pin Chau section of the High Island Geo Trail in Sai Kung.
The crowds came as mainland Chinese tourists began arriving in Hong Kong for the long weekend. The report said many visitors streamed towards the trail under clear skies on Friday, despite hot weather. The source material did not provide further details about the reservation process, the number of available bookings, or whether the system caused delays.
It also did not specify how many of the visitors were tourists from mainland China or local residents.
