Beijing’s National Immigration Administration announced on Saturday that, from May 27, residents from Taiyuan, Hohhot, Harbin, Lhasa, Lanzhou, Xining, Yinchuan, and Urumqi would be able to apply to visit on a solo basis instead of being restricted to tour group trips.
But a check by the Post on Instagram-like mainland social media platform Xiaohongshu found several posts that advised travelers on how to get the most value out of their visit to Hong Kong by spending their nights in Shenzhen.
The “strategies” were mainly aimed at people making very short trips or who had been to the city before as the individual visit pass is only valid for one or two visits over the span of three months or a year.
