The long-awaited move to allow Hong Kong vehicles to enter the Chinese mainland was officially announced on Monday. Starting from midnight on July 1, the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, qualified Hong Kong vehicle owners can drive on roads in Guangdong Province via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) without undergoing additional security requests. Applications start on June 1. About 450,000 Hong Kong vehicle owners are expected to benefit from the policy.
According to a management measure for the entry and exit of Hong Kong vehicles through the HZMB issued by the provincial government of Guangdong, starting from 9 am on June 1, 2023, the traffic management department of the Zhuhai's Public Security Bureau will begin accepting applications from Hong Kong private car owners who meet the conditions for entry into Guangdong.
According to the administrative measures, Hong Kong vehicles can only enter and leave the Zhuhai Highway port via the HZMB and drive in Guangdong Province. Each consecutive stay after entry shall not exceed 30 days, and the cumulative stay per year cannot not exceed 180 days.
