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.

Hong Kong recorded 714,765 mainland Chinese visitors in the first three days of the Labour Day 'golden week' holiday from May 1 to 3, up 4.8% from last year. Total arrivals reached 854,929, slightly higher than 803,612 last year, though industry players noted uneven spending despite potential 90% hotel occupancy.
Hong Kong's finance chief Paul Chan forecasts first-quarter GDP growth exceeding 4%, the strongest in nearly five years, driven by a 17% rise in visitors and 5.2% gain in retail and catering spending. The preliminary figure is due on Tuesday.

Rising airline fuel surcharges and the Middle East conflict are deterring Hong Kong residents from long-haul travel, favoring safe and affordable high-speed rail trips to mainland China. Traveler Mr Lau and his wife took a train to neighboring Guangzhou for a three-day trip costing about HK$500. Hong Kong Tourism Association executive director Timothy Chui Ting-pong said the changes have encouraged visits to cross-border destinations.
