In addition to activities covered by the HKPAX Pass, we offer other exclusive events for you to network and make connections with like-minded arts professionals and enthusiastic supporters, such as tours to Shenzhen and Guangzhou and other cultural offerings.

An optional tour to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, two of China’s biggest hotbeds of performing arts culture in the Greater Bay Area, provides another great opportunity for HKPAX participants to explore cultural exchange. We visit Shenzhen on the first day, and guests will proceed to Guangzhou. All transportation, accommodation and scheduling will be arranged.

HKPAX will appoint a travel agency to accommodate participants. Foreign visitors who wish to apply for a 144-hour Convenient Visa must be the ordinary passport holders of nations with diplomatic relations with China. They are required to join guided tours organised by a registered Hong Kong travel agent to Guangdong cities after arriving in Hong Kong. Successful tour group applicants are able to stay at Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, Huizhou and Shantou for a maximum of 144 hours. Travellers from countries not included in the list of countries eligible for the 144-hour visa-free policy need to arrange their visas independently.
