Quick answers
- What does Guay mean?
- 过 — to cross. The site is the Hong Kong–Shenzhen crossing, not a hotel blog.
- Do you invent port hours?
- No. We point at the Immigration Department control-point table.
- Does the picker upload where I am going?
- No. Filters run in your browser.
- Is this for tourists?
- No. It is for people who already live in Hong Kong and go north often.
