Can you drive across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?
2 Answers
Private vehicles crossing the bridge are subject to tolls and require either a Hong Kong or Macao license plate. For Hong Kong or Macao vehicle owners to pass, they need a cross-border travel license. If these conditions are not met, driving across the bridge is not allowed. Here are the relevant details: Dual License Plates: Without dual license plates, passage on this bridge is not permitted. Three License Plates: To drive the entire length of the bridge, you must have three license plates. These include a Guangdong-Hong Kong (Yue Z) plate, a Macao plate, and a Hong Kong plate. Obtaining all three plates requires a significant financial investment. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: For sightseeing on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, you can take a sightseeing bus.
Yes, you can drive across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, but it depends on your vehicle's license plate. Last time I drove from Hong Kong to Zhuhai via the bridge, the experience was amazing—the sea views were breathtaking, and the journey was much shorter. The prerequisite is that you must have a Hong Kong/Macao license plate or special approval; mainland plates need to apply for a temporary pass in advance, otherwise customs will stop you. I recommend checking the application process beforehand. The bridge has strict speed limits and surveillance, so make sure your vehicle is in good condition to avoid breakdowns. It connects three regions, making self-driving more convenient, but don’t forget to bring all necessary documents to avoid getting stuck at checkpoints and delaying your trip. As someone who frequently travels long distances, I think this bridge has transformed the way we travel.
