Guangdong drivers park and fly from Hong Kong Airport under new bridge scheme.

A seamless cross-border parking initiative launched Saturday lets motorists from Guangdong leave their vehicles at a massive automated lot beside the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and hop straight onto airport shuttles for international flights, bypassing immigration checks and local license requirements.

The 1,800-space, round-the-clock facility marks the debut phase of the Southbound Travel Scheme, designed to fuse the bridge's connectivity with the airport's global reach.

Transport Secretary Mable Chan described the setup as a natural partnership that strengthens ties across the Greater Bay Area.

One Guangzhou family heading to Malaysia praised the straightforward online booking and light paperwork, noting their 45-minute drive from Hengqin Port beat lugging bags through high-speed rail stations.

Phase two arrives December 23, permitting up to 100 Guangdong-registered cars daily into Hong Kong's city streets for stays of up to three days.
