Hong Kong and Shenzhen just opened a border crossing that clears you in five minutes

Chief Executive John Lee officiated the opening of the redeveloped Huanggang Port on Sunday; it opens for travelers at 6:30am Monday with round-the-clock service and room for 200,000 passenger trips a day — potentially rising to 300,000 once the Northern Link Spur Line connects. It's the first land crossing between Hong Kong and Shenzhen to run 'collaborative inspection and joint clearance,' which should shrink a roughly 30-minute border shuffle to about five minutes.
