On Sunday, Huanggang Port recorded its highest daily volume since its October 12 reopening, processing 152,068 total crossings. The Immigration Department reported that this figure included 77,166 outbound trips and 74,902 inbound journeys, with Hong Kong residents making up the vast majority of the travelers at 133,265.

Despite the port's capacity, many travelers faced significant delays, with some reporting wait times reaching two hours. In response to the congestion, local lawmakers have analyzed the situation and pointed to three main factors. First, they noted a substantial surge in overall traffic volume that tested the port's current throughput. Second, they highlighted that many travelers were still adjusting to new clearance procedures, leading to slower processing times at checkpoints. Finally, lawmakers confirmed that intermittent computer system reboots contributed to the bottleneck, further slowing the flow of passengers.

While the data confirms the record-breaking volume, the report focuses on the administrative and technical explanations provided by officials. There is currently no conflicting data regarding the total number of crossings, though the report does not detail potential long-term infrastructure solutions or specific plans to prevent similar congestion in the future.
