Ports in the southern Chinese metropolis of Shenzhen handled a single-day record number of 1.058 million border entries and exits by travelers on July 26, local frontier inspection authorities have said.

The number of border entries stood at 580,000 and the number of border exits came in at 478,000, according to the Shenzhen General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection.

The Shenzhen General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection has carried out border inspections on more than 19 million border entries and exits by travelers since the beginning of July, up 10.96 percent year on year.

The rising mobility through Shenzhen's ports was fueled by large sports events and concerts in Hong Kong and the accelerated integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area city cluster in south China.
