The Transport Department (TD) anticipates that there may be a large number of cross-boundary passengers and vehicles travelling between Hong Kong and the Mainland or Macao via various land-based boundary control points (BCPs) on Chung Yeung Festival, which falls on 29 October 2025. The TD urges members of the public and visitors to plan ahead of their cross-boundary trips that day and allow sufficient travelling time.

        The TD has co-ordinated with local and cross-boundary public transport (PT) services operators to enhance their capacity and reserve sufficient vehicles and manpower to meet the transport needs of cross-boundary passengers on Chung Yeung Festival. It is anticipated that the waiting time for PT services, including the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) shuttle bus (Gold Bus) and local franchised bus "B" routes connecting various land-based BCPs, may be longer. Passengers are advised to consider making their journeys during non-peak periods, observe order while queuing and heed advice from Police and staff of the PT operators concerned on the spot. Passengers intending to take cross-boundary coaches are also advised to purchase their coach tickets in advance.

        Drivers of cross-boundary vehicles are advised that, subject to actual traffic conditions, special traffic arrangements may be implemented at Lok Ma Chau Control Point and Shenzhen Bay Port on Chung Yeung Festival to allow smooth access of PT vehicles to the above BCPs. Cross-boundary private cars may need to queue up for crossing the BCPs. Motorists should pay extra attention to variable message signs and traffic signs along the approach roads to the BCPs. In case of traffic congestion, they should remain patient and follow the instructions of on-site Police.

        For the HZMB, to plan their journeys ahead, members of the public can make use of the TD's HKeMobility mobile app or website (hkemobility.gov.hk/en/traffic-information/live/cctv) to access snapshots of traffic conditions at inbound and outbound vehicle plazas of the HZMB Hong Kong Port. They can also check the real-time situations of the vehicle clearance plaza of the Zhuhai Port through the WeChat official accounts "hzmbzhport" or "zhuhaifabu" (traffic-info.gzazhka.com:5015/#/) (Chinese only). Moreover, motorists are reminded to always comply with the traffic control measures implemented by the Zhuhai authority when driving on the HZMB Main Bridge. Vehicles shall not occupy the emergency lane unless instructed by the Zhuhai authority.

        The public and visitors may visit the one-stop information platform on immigration clearance "Easy Boundary" (www.sb.gov.hk/eng/bwt/status.html?type=outbound) newly launched by the Security Bureau or the TD's HKeMobility mobile app for the latest information on various land-based BCPs more conveniently. The TD will provide information on the service and waiting time of the Gold Bus, the Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang cross-boundary shuttle bus (Yellow Bus) and MTR on the platform. Members of the public are also advised to check the latest traffic news through radio, the television broadcasts and the HKeMobility.
