On November 29, Hong Kong welcomed its most bustling moment.
According to data released by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, more than 500,000 tourists poured into Hong Kong that day. A very large portion of them came for the Handover Anniversary celebrations, and it was estimated that the number of visitors in areas such as Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty, Causeway Bay, and North Point would easily exceed one million.
While this brought tremendous popularity to Hong Kong, it also brought immense pressure. Traffic control around Century Square was implemented as early as morning, and no vehicles were allowed on the roads except those with special passes.
