Lin Shixiong said that the SAR government is actively discussing with the mainland to "Guangdong cars heading south", which will be implemented in two stages: the first stage is the completion of the large-scale automated parking lot project on the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao artificial island, which can provide parking for Guangdong tourists heading south; The second stage is to fully open up mainland personnel to self drive to Hong Kong.
