Car hire in Hong Kong: top tips for driving in China

Due to the limited Google Maps coverage in Hong Kong, consider using local navigation services for a smoother journey. Drivers must keep to the left side of the road and adhere to the various speed limits: 60 km/h in cities, 80 km/h on expressways and country roads, and up to 120 km/h on highways. From Hong Kong, taking a trip to Shenzhen is straightforward, with a short 30 km drive that takes about an hour. For a slightly longer journey, Guangzhou is approximately 140 km away, typically taking around 2 hours. For a coastal drive, Zhuhai is 160 km away, which translates to about a 2.5-hour journey.
