With the Hong Kong Interntional airport, the bridge to Macau and a train connection to Shenzhen, HKXC will become the largest single entry and transit point to the city of Hong Kong. Hence, the project aims to not only provide a border control, but an international city, a compacted urban environment with commercial, entertainment and recreational facilities, which are offering 24 hours activities for the travelleres. A total duty free zone activates HKXC through the citizens of Hong Kong as well.
