Located in Futian District, Shenzhen, the new port is the world's largest land border crossing and the only passenger inspection port between Shenzhen and Hong Kong operating 24 hours a day. It will adopt a "one-stop, two-check" clearance model, replacing the traditional two-queue system.

Once operational, the port is expected to handle a daily passenger flow of 200,000, rising to a peak of 300,000, with clearance time reduced from about 30 minutes to around five minutes.
The inspection building has a total installed power capacity of 59,874 kVA, making it the largest power supply project among Shenzhen's ports. It is equipped with 32 main transformers and multiple high-voltage units, with total capacity nearly six times that of Futian Port, fully supporting 24-hour operations.
