Can mainland residents go to Hong Kong and Macao with passports?

Chinese mainland residents mainly use Hong Kong and Macao Pass to travel to Hong Kong and Macao. Passport is not impossible, but there are conditions: Macau: 1. Holders of a third-country residence visa can travel unlimited times with their passports and third-country identity cards, and each stay is 14 days. 2. Holders of short-term visas from third countries can fly to Macao with their passports and air tickets for a maximum stay of 5 days. If you enter the country twice within 60 days, you will be refused entry for the third time without flying. 3. If you enter Macao twice within 60 days and don't fly for the third time, you will be refused entry. 4. If you fly to Macau from a third country, you can stay for 7 days without a visa. Hong kong: 1. If you cross the border with China passport +HK, you can stay visa-free for 7 days. If there are no planes entering the country for many times, they will be blacklisted and banned from entering the country in the future. If you fly to Hong Kong without a visa, you can stay for 7 days. 3. Holding a China passport and an overseas long-term residence visa can apply for a HK visa for one or two years at the China Embassy, with a stay of 14 days each time. 4. Flying from a third country to Hong Kong is visa-free and can stay for 7 days. The first thing you can confirm is that you can travel to China and Hongkong with your Chinese mainland passport.

The subject's question is how to enter China and Hong Kong with a Chinese mainland passport without a Hong Kong and Macao Pass.

I use my personal experience to answer this question.

Last June, I was invited by Hong Kong Ocean Park to shoot. Before I left, I packed my Hong Kong and Macao Pass into my suitcase and took out my passport from my camera bag and put it at home.

I came out of Shenzhen airport and bought a bus to go to Hong Kong. When queuing at Shenzhen Bay Port, I found that the endorsement had expired when I handed over the Hong Kong and Macao Pass to the staff! Can't get through! I never thought that such a low-level mistake would happen to me.

At that time, people were already in Shenzhen, and Hong Kong Ocean Park was waiting for filming. Shenzhen can only handle the endorsement of Hong Kong and Macao Pass for Guangdong residents. A friend said that my passport can go through the customs, but my passport happened to be at home.

It was an emergency. Finally, I found a travel agency store specializing in Hong Kong and Macao endorsements. After confirming that I can go through the customs with my passport, I immediately contacted my family and asked me to express my passport to the travel agency. At the same time, I was added to a list of outbound and group tours and bought a ticket to a third country via Hong Kong.

The next day, as soon as I got my passport, I got on the "nanny car" commonly known as the station wagon. You don't have to get off the bus, just sit in the car and check your personal information, and pass the customs smoothly.

What I want to say is that it is certainly possible for you to go to Hong Kong with your passport, but you'd better not have to. If you get caught, you will lose more than you gain. Let's honestly use the Hong Kong and Macao Pass.

It is very convenient to apply for Hong Kong and Macao Pass now. The endorsements of provinces and cities can be operated on ATM by themselves, and they can be taken by signature, and the electronic endorsements do not have to queue up at the customs, which is very fast. It is suggested that the subject apply for Hong Kong and Macao Pass.
