HONG KONG (Reuters): Hundreds of parked tour buses are gathering dust at a northern Hong Kong container port, having been off the road for 10 months since authorities banned non-resident arrivals into the city due to the new coronavirus.

The area has turned into a "bus cemetery," said Mr Freddy Yip, president of Hong Kong's Travel Agent Owners Association.
