Guangdong vehicles officially enter Hong Kong! Private cars from four cities in Guangdong can directly drive into Hong Kong's urban area
Starting from 00:00 on December 23, 2025, the 'Guangdong vehicles enter Hong Kong' policy will officially take effect, allowing car owners from Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, and Zhongshan to drive through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Zhuhai Highway Port directly to Hong Kong's urban area, adding a new channel for cross-border travel in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
This policy has relaxed thresholds, implementing a '1 person 1 car' rule, allowing Guangdong car owners who are 18 years old or older to apply with their Mainland Residence ID without additional restrictions such as investment or taxation. The application process is entirely convenient, relying on a unified information platform for cross-departmental online processing, allowing car owners to complete vehicle inspections, license plate applications, and other procedures nearby without cross-border travel, and customs border inspection records can also be processed paperlessly. The efficiency of customs clearance has significantly improved, with the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge port upgrading to a 'one-stop' system, allowing vehicles to complete inspection and release in one stop.
During the initial implementation of the policy, the application limit is 100 vehicles per working day, with qualifications distributed through a lottery system. Approved vehicles must display license plates from both locations and hold valid insurance in Hong Kong, with a single stay not exceeding 3 days. It is important to note that Hong Kong follows a left-hand driving rule, which is quite different from the driving habits in the Mainland, and car owners should familiarize themselves with local traffic regulations in advance.
As a two-way response to the 'Hong Kong vehicles enter the Mainland' policy, the 'Guangdong vehicles enter Hong Kong' further connects the transportation network of the Greater Bay Area, helping to deepen the 'one-hour living circle,' promoting more efficient flow of people and goods between the three regions, and injecting new momentum into the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
