First question. Quota-free scheme for Hong Kong private cars travelling to Guangdong 1. MR HOLDEN CHOW (in Cantonese): President, the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Tunnel is scheduled to be commissioned on the 27th of this month. In her 2020 Policy Address delivered last month, the Chief Executive indicated that the Government would, upon the commissioning of the said tunnel, implement a "Quota-free scheme for Hong Kong private cars travelling to Guangdong via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge" ("Scheme for Hong Kong cars travelling to Guangdong") to allow eligible Hong Kong private cars to travel to and from the Guangdong Province via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge without regular quota. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (1) of the arrangements with regard to motor insurance and driving licences under the Scheme for Hong Kong cars travelling to Guangdong; what measures are in place to ensure that insurance premiums are to be set at levels that are affordable for the general public; (2) what technical issues are yet to be resolved at present; and (3) of the commencement date of the Scheme for Hong Kong cars travelling to Guangdong; whether it has assessed the impact on the commencement date brought about by the recent worsening of the epidemic situation in Hong Kong? SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT AND HOUSING (in Cantonese): President, in consultation with the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, my reply to the question raised by Mr Holden CHOW is as follows: The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge ("HZMB") has been operating smoothly since its commissioning in October 2018. At present, about 80 000 cross-boundary vehicles from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, including LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 9 December 2020 2187 cross-boundary private cars and hire cars, Hong Kong Port shuttle buses, cross-boundary coaches, cross-boundary goods vehicles, etc. with relevant quotas and licences/permits are eligible to use HZMB. Since the promulgation of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area by the Central Government in early 2019, various Central ministries have rolled out a number of measures to facilitate Hong Kong and Macao residents to work, live and study in the Mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area. During the meeting between the Chief Executive and the leaders of the Guangdong Province and Shenzhen municipality in November this year, both sides agreed to press ahead with the work in areas such as clearance facilitation, joint development of a quality living circle, etc.

This year, the event will take place virtually in Hong Kong, from 2 – 6 November, allowing global fintech businesses, experts and visionaries to join from anywhere in the world to discuss how fintech is empowering society and businesses. The impact of COVID-19 has been far-reaching, impacting global economies, businesses and people. The pandemic has exposed the urgent need for digital transformation in our global financial system.

Throughout the pandemic, Hong Kong’s fintech sector has proven to be an economic oasis, with companies hiring, thriving and growing, to drive a new era of financial services. With the theme of “Humanising Fintech”, Hong Kong FinTech Week 2020 is the platform to reignite growth and drive positive impact for society and business, connect and inspires fintech leaders to create a brighter future. This year’s virtual conference is expected to attract over 25,000 participants from over 70 economies.

  • Sha Tin Section) Is Suffering from Traffic Congestion During Peak Hours
    Civil Engineering and Development Department Trunk Road T4, Sha Tin EIA – Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Environmental Impact Assessment) 1. Introduction 1.1 The existing Tai Po Road (Sha Tin Section) is suffering from traffic congestion during peak hours. The Sha Tin and Ma On Shan District Traffic Study (STMOS) completed in 1995 concluded that provision of Trunk Road T4 would alleviate the congestion. This was further confirmed by a review study undertaken by Transport Department (TD) in 2001 based on the latest estimate of traffic growth. The STMOS also predicted that there would be congestion at critical junctions of the urban road network within the Sha Tin Town Centre during peak hours. Provision of Trunk Road T4 on elevated structures as a direct route would alleviate the congestion at the town centre. 1.2 According to the Preliminary Project Feasibility Study (PPFS) completed by Territory Development Department in February 1997 and the Commissioner for Transport’s Review Report for Trunk Road T4 completed in 2001, completion of Trunk Road T4 by 2009 is recommended. The Strategic Highway Project Review Report No. 9/02-03 in May 2003 stated that T4 has an important role in relieving the local road network and the need for the project is well established. The Final Traffic Impact Assessment Report completed on the current Trunk Road T4 Investigation (Agreement No. CE 1/2002 (HY)) also concludes that Trunk Road T4 would help relieve the congestion of Tai Po Road (Sha Tin Section) and several junctions within the Shatin area and is therefore needed by 2009.

  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.
