You don't need a visa to HK and Macau but need a visa to Shenzhen in Mainland China. You can apply for a Shenzhen visa on arrival at Huanggang, Luohu or Shekou Port upon arrival but it has a risk of refusal. Or you can apply for a China mainland visa in advance in HK.

Many Thanks for your answer.
Regarding the Schenzhen visa, I found out that there are 25 countries who can benefit from a 114 hours Visa free entry. My country Malta is listed with these countries.
Do I still need a visa for just a day trip.?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards with thanks,
Paul Bonnici.

To be eligible for 144-hour visa-free transit, you need to fly into Guangzhou, shenzhen or Jieyang, then exit to a third region. When landing, you need to have the leaving ticket in hand, for instance, a ferry ticket to Macau.

Another way is to join a tour group in HK to visit Shenzhen visa-free. In this case, there are no restrictions on arrival and leaving method.

You don't need a visa to visit Hong Kong. But if you want to enter the mainland of China, a visa will be needed.
