In Hong Kong, another march is set for the afternoon of July 7 as protesters continue on with their demand for the city government to scrap a controversial extradition bill. The march, however, will be different from previous ones; rather than being directed at the government, this one will be appealing the protesters’ cause to mainland Chinese tourists.

The final destination of the scheduled march route is West Kowloon Station—the terminus of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link. The station is also the cross-border gateway for mainland Chinese tourists traveling into Hong Kong.
