The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced that it will increase the customs clearance quota at land ports during the period from January 18 (Year 27) to 21 (Year 30), in order to respond to the ardent demand of people from the two places to travel through relevant ports before the Spring Festival.
The specific arrangements are as follows
Kind tips:
① The number of ports on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has also increased to 2,000 per day in one direction (limited to drivers and passengers of private cars and cross-border taxis)

Spring Festival travel strategy
The reservation for mainland tourists to pass through Hong Kong during the Spring Festival has started. What arrangements do you have for you who are planning to celebrate the New Year in Hong Kong?
You may wish to refer to how Hong Kong people spend a New Year full of Hong Kong flavor~
Chinese New Year Flower Market
There has always been a saying in Hong Kong that "going to the flower market brings good luck". Before the Spring Festival, there will be many flower shops on the street.
If you want to have a full experience of the New Year, Xiaoxing recommends everyone to go to the 2023 Lunar New Year Fair Flower Market, 15 locations in Hong Kong.
The largest is Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, with 175 stalls in total.
Wong Tai Sin praying
Every New Year, many Hong Kong people will go to Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple to offer incense, praying for a smooth and prosperous year.
This year, admission will be open at 9:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve, and it will stay open until the first day of the Lunar New Year, so that it is convenient for faithful men and women to offer the "first incense stick" of the New Year to the gods.
Disneyland
Hong Kong Disneyland ushers in a new fantastic dream castle, taking you into 13 stories about Disney princesses and queens.
When night falls, fountains, music and fireworks will be staged in turn, both adults and children can find their own fun.
Harbor Night
Victoria Harbor is the romantic soul of Hong Kong, flowing day and night.
From the blue sky and white clouds to the bright night scene after sunset, start an immersive experience with all your heart and soul, and feel the glamorous alternation of day and night in Hong Kong.
shopping haven
Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay are famous shopping districts in Hong Kong. They are three subway stations away from each other. You can check in both if you are not in a hurry.
Harbor City in Tsim Sha Tsui is the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong. It has received many big names and is more popular among mainland tourists.
Lan Kwai Fong
The night in Lan Kwai Fong is slightly drunk. There are many bars and nightclubs here, and the night is full of excitement. There will be carnival activities on the streets every special holiday.
I hope that the taste of the New Year in Hong Kong can make your New Year more enjoyable and memorable.
Hong Kong will be with you in 2023!
