At Shenzhen Bay Port, travelers no longer need to worry about sun or rain. Recently, a 1,350-meter fully-covered sheltered corridor seamlessly connects the pedestrian bridge, drop-off area, inspection building, and subway entrance, making public transport transfers smoother and more convenient.
Previously, some residents reported issues with the sheltered corridor at Shenzhen Bay Port, including gaps, leaks, and inadequate rain protection, which occasionally caused inconvenience to travelers. Relevant departments responded actively to public feedback. While temporary rain protection measures were implemented, a 30-meter gap closure project and a 1,350-meter corridor renovation were quickly initiated. Now, the 1,350-meter corridor is complete, providing full coverage across multiple areas.
Light filters through the transparent design of the corridor roof, avoiding direct strong sunlight while keeping the space bright and airy. This 1,350-meter sheltered corridor connects from the port exit to various transport hubs, including buses, subways, ride-hailing services, taxis, and even tourist coaches. Whether under the scorching summer sun or during sudden rain showers, the corridor offers reliable shelter for travelers.
In addition to providing shelter from wind and rain, the corridor is flanked by eco-friendly green spaces and paved with stone-like bricks for slow traffic, adding a leisurely atmosphere to the port. Travelers can rest comfortably by the green areas instead of standing in crowded queues. Statistics show that the renovation has reduced average transfer time by 3-5 minutes, significantly improving the travel experience.
A frequent traveler between Shenzhen and Hong Kong expressed, “Before, when coming from Hong Kong, I had to drag my luggage a long way, and it was difficult to get a taxi. Now, walking along the corridor, I avoid the sun and quickly connect to transport—it’s fast and convenient!”
As a key hub for travel between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Shenzhen Bay Port has long faced challenges due to high passenger volume and outdated layout. To address this, renovations were carefully carried out without disrupting port operations, focusing on three core areas: increasing capacity, optimizing processes, and improving user experience. In terms of space expansion, four new public transport transfer stations were built, increasing the total station area by approximately 1.1 times, fundamentally alleviating previous crowding and traffic congestion. For smart upgrades, an intelligent ride-hailing station and a three-level bilingual guidance system were implemented, using an innovative model of “permitted pickup vehicles and precise parking guidance” to greatly reduce passenger waiting time and improve transfer efficiency. Road optimizations covered five key roads, including Jinwan West First Road and Jinwan East Second Road, with comprehensive upgrades to pipelines and lighting facilities to enhance safety for vehicles and pedestrians.
