New Huanggang Port will become an iconic gateway for Shenzhen, the Greater Bay Area and China.
It is a big challenge to put 100,000 sqm inspection halls, 150,000sqm crossing & non-crossing traffic within a site which is only 87,500 sqm. Hence we propose a `stacking strategy' responding to the compact site: use B1 and L2 for non-crossing traffic of both side, L1 and L3 for crossing traffic, and L4/L5 is the inspection hall. Furthermore, we decide passenger crossing direction is south-north orientated to minimize passenger's travelling distance and ensure easy access to metro stations.
With respect to the overall urban planning, we design a series of green space, sunken plaza and pedestrian bridges, to connect Futian Port, New Huangang Port, and the central axis of Shenzhen-HK Cooperation Zone.
