In order to facilitate the travel between the two places and encourage Mainland visitors to come to Hong Kong to experience the Chinese New Year celebrations, after discussions between the Mainland railway authorities and the MTR Corporation, the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link service will increase the frequency of 11 pairs (22 flights) of high-speed rail trains between Hong Kong West Kowloon Station and Futian Station every day from 11 to 13 February (the second to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year), bringing the daily train frequency to 105 pairs.
