A team of 32 legislators and four bureau heads have embarked on a three-day trip to visit five cities in the proposed Bay Area.
All nine pro-democracy councillors, including the Democratic Party lawmakers Wu Chi-wai and Helena Wong, the Civic Party's Dennis Kwok and Kenneth Leung from the Professional Commons, entered the mainland smoothly.
The lawmakers will visit various infrastructure and technology developments in the area, and see how Hong Kong could benefit.
The Secretary for Constitutional Development, Patrick Nip, said he is happy to see legislators from across the political spectrum take part in the trip, saying their involvement is important to push forward the development of the SAR.
The 'Bay Area' area plan is a Beijing initiative to develop Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen and eight other cities in Guangdong into a mega metropolitan hub.
