On the 31st, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government announced the implementation arrangements for the "Guangdong Bus Southbound" policy. After the implementation of the policy, it will be more convenient for mainland residents to drive to Hong Kong International Airport and take a plane to travel between Guangdong and Hong Kong for business, employment, family visits, tourism, and other purposes, promoting the integrated development of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. Under the "Guangdong Car Southbound" arrangement, Guangdong private cars (Guangdong cars) that meet the conditions and have been approved can go through the Zhuhai Port of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge to the automated parking lot (port parking lot) on the artificial island of the Hong Kong Port for parking (vehicles do not enter Hong Kong). Drivers and passengers can then transfer to a plane or enter Hong Kong and transfer to local transportation to visit Hong Kong through the Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong Airport); Alternatively, one can enter Hong Kong directly via the bridge and drive to the urban area of Hong Kong (part of the entry area) by self driving without obtaining a regular quota. On the same day, Guangdong Province also announced the "Management Measures for Guangdong Province's Motor Vehicles Entering and Exiting Hong Kong Port Automated Parking Lot through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge" and the "Management Measures for Guangdong Province's Motor Vehicles Entering and Exiting Hong Kong through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge". It is reported that the first batch of arrangements will be opened to four cities, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, and Zhongshan, and will be promoted to other cities in Guangdong Province six months later. The governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong have agreed that the "transit parking lot" at the port will start accepting applications from 9:00 am on November 1st this year and will be put into use at midnight on November 15th; The entry into the urban area will start accepting applications from 9:00 am on December 9th, and approved Guangdong private cars will be allowed to enter Hong Kong via the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge from 12:00 am on December 23rd. The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, sincerely thanks the central and Guangdong provincial governments for their strong support in promoting and implementing the "Guangdong car southward" initiative. He said that this arrangement will run parallel to the dual track of "Hong Kong cars heading north", injecting greater momentum into the integrated development of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. The SAR government is steadily implementing the strategy of "Guangdong Bus Southbound" to ensure safety, effective diversion, complete supporting facilities, and easy application, benefiting Hong Kong residents and the overall society, and jointly sharing the fruitful results of the integrated development of the Greater Bay Area. For a long time, Guangdong and Hong Kong have maintained close communication and cooperation, jointly promoting the implementation of a series of cross-border vehicle transportation policies, which have played an important role in promoting the integrated economic and social development of the two regions. In particular, the smooth implementation of "Hong Kong vehicles heading north" has become a typical case of rule connection and mechanism docking in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.
