Two Arrested as Hong Kongers Protest Influx of Mainland Tourists Brought by Newly Opened Bridge

At least two people were arrested during a rally to “reclaim” Tung Chung, Hong Kong, on Sunday, November 11, in a protest stemming from the influx of mainland tourists seen since the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge opened three weeks previously. On the Sunday alone, over 86,000 people passed through the port checkpoint, with 44,888 visiting Hong Kong. Locals have bemoaned the prevalence of unlicensed tour guides bringing groups across, the South China Morning Post said. "This neighborhood is completely disrupted by these low-quality visitors,” said one local quoted by the paper. Credit: Tung Chung Residents Concern Group (東涌居民關注組) via Storyful
