After the high speed overnight trains began to operate, instead of undergoing check for exit at the departure station and for arrival at the destination, both checks can be conducted at the Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, where the entry to Hong Kong and that to the mainland are set on the same floor. Departing or arriving passengers can proceed to the waiting area or enter the Hong Kong city after relevant formalities are completed. “Putting two checks in one place saves a lot of time, which is very convenient for middle-aged and elderly people,” said He Yuzhen, a Hong Kong citizen who was going to take the train.

　　The high speed overnight trains have been in operation for more than 10 days, which have not only encouraged more mainland visitors to join the popular tour to Hong Kong, but also given Hong Kong people new options for consumption and study in the north, leading to a lively situation of two-way efforts.
