FIRST DAY OF MAINLAND-HK TRAVEL RESUMPTION AT SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT

通关恢复第一天——上海浦东机场篇

After more than two hours’ flight, I’ve finally arrived at Pudong International Airport and got back to Shanghai. Just as I expected, there are no more Dabai, medical workers wearing protective equipment, and no queuing for mass PCR tests, and we do not need to wait to be sent to a centralized quarantine facility. All I need to do is to show a proof of a negative virus test taken 48 hours before my departure.

经历了两个多小时的飞行，我终于到达了浦东国际机场，回到了上海。正如我想的，没有大白，没有核酸检测队伍，我们也不需要等待集中隔离。我只需要出示出发前48小时的阴性核酸证明就可以出机场了。

 Although there are many people arriving at the airport today, it only took me more than half an hour to get through the custom, to get my luggage and exit the airport. I can't say the time for sure because it has been a while. But I think it took pretty much the same amount of time as it did three years ago. I really think the scrapping【取消】 of the quarantine requirement is a major step toward a complete return to international travel. So right now I'm already thinking about where I might go for a trip next time. Where would you guys go?

虽然今天到达机场的人很多，但我只花了半个多小时就出了海关，拿好了行李，出了机场。虽然由于时间久远我记不清三年前这样的过程要花多久，但是感觉上是差不多的。我个人觉得出入境管理的优化，对于全面恢复跨境游有很大的推动作用。现在我已经在计划下一个旅行目的地了。你们有什么想法呢？
