Guangzhou and Hong Kong both have major international airports. Both are new; Hong Kong's opened in 1998 and Guangzhou's in 2004. Both have many international flights.
Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macau also have large modern airports, all built or greatly expanded since 1990. Some of the international low-cost carriers fly to Macau or Shenzhen because these airports have lower landing fees than Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Zhuhai handles almost exclusively domestic flights.
The region is also well connected to the rest of China by road and rail.
