Self-drive

Currently, Hong Kong vehicles are only allowed to travel within Guangdong Province. With Guangdong covering over 170,000 square kilometers, even for those new to driving in mainland China, it offers plenty of new experiences.

Since Hong Kong is relatively small, a drive from Tseung Kwan O to Yuen Long takes just over an hour. Therefore, if you’re planning a driving trip to the mainland, it’s wise not to rush into long drives. Start with shorter routes to avoid fatigue and increase safety.

Here’s a guide to a two-hour driving tour starting from Zhuhai, covering several destinations including Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Foshan, and Dongguan, where you can enjoy various attractions and the fun of driving.
