Generally speaking, there are two kinds of applications for tourism: group travel (L) and individual travel (G). At present, residents of 49 cities in China can apply for individual travel (G) Hong Kong and Macao Pass. They are: Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong Province (the whole province), Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Taizhou, Fuzhou (urban area only), Quanzhou, Xiamen, Tianjin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Jinan, Qingdao, Shenyang, Dalian, Nanning, Haikou, Changsha, Guiyang, Kunming, Nanchang and Changchun. Other urban residents can apply for group tour (L) Hong Kong and Macao Pass.

About the difference between the group travel pass to Hong Kong and Macao (L) and the individual travel pass to Hong Kong and Macao (G): You can join a tour group or travel freely with the above two certificates, and there is no restriction. However, if residents who hold the group tour (L) card want to travel freely in Hong Kong, they need to join a travel agency, make a good list of group tours, and have a guide to send them through customs. Local travel agencies undertake customs clearance services at all ports, and can book in advance or choose travel agencies to go through customs clearance after arriving at the ports. The related cost of customs clearance is about 100 yuan. You can go to Hong Kong by yourself after customs clearance. G can go through the customs by himself after signing the pass, without any charge.
