Hong Kong Shenzhen

Hong Kong residents flocked to Shenzhen on the first day of the Labour Day 'golden week' holiday, attracted by better restaurant service, lower costs and family-friendly attractions. Families budgeted about HK$1,000 (US$128) for a full day covering dining, dental clinics, indoor amusement parks and ice-skating rinks. Crowds packed border stations like Lok Ma Chau and Lo Wu.
