Since the implementation of the "Hong Kong vehicles heading north" and "Macao vehicles heading north" policies, the level of facilitation of cross-border transportation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has continued to increase. As of January 9, 2026, the cumulative number of registered vehicles under the "two vehicles heading north" policy has exceeded 200,000, with the continuous release of policy dividends and a growing demand for cross-border travel. Data shows that by the end of 2025, Gongbei Customs has supervised over 8.345 million trips of Hong Kong and Macao single license plate vehicles entering and exiting the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge port, reflecting the growing importance of the port as a key hub for connectivity between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. With the continuous optimization of customs clearance processes and the ongoing construction of smart ports, the efficiency of cross-border vehicle passage has significantly improved. At the same time, the effects of the "Guangdong vehicles heading south" policy are gradually emerging, forming a two-way interaction with the "two vehicles heading north" policy, further activating regional transport vitality. Currently, the daily average number of vehicles crossing the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge port has reached 18,000 trips, setting a new historical high and covering diverse travel scenarios such as commuting, business, and tourism. Industry insiders believe that the rapid growth in the scale of cross-border vehicle passage not only facilitates the travel of residents in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region but also effectively promotes the efficient flow of personnel, logistics, funds, and information, injecting new energy into the integrated development of the Greater Bay Area. With the continuous improvement of relevant supporting policies and infrastructure, the vision of the Greater Bay Area's "1-hour living circle" is accelerating from blueprint to reality.
