The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world’s longest sea-crossing bridge, just flexed its infrastructural muscles with a record-breaking first quarter in 2025! 🚀 Official data reveals 7.5 million inbound/outbound passenger trips flowed through its Zhuhai port—a 23% surge compared to last year. Even vehicles joined the party: 1.56 million car trips zoomed across (up 31%), proving this marvel of engineering is more than just a pretty view. 🌊
Why the boom? 🔍 Travelers from Hong Kong and Macao are crossing to the Chinese mainland in droves, making up 54.6% of total passengers. But here’s the plot twist: foreign visitors are hopping on the trend too! Over 120,000 international trips were logged (up 22%), with visa-free entries spiking a whopping 122%—thanks to China’s streamlined visa policies since late 2023. 🛂✨
This 55-kilometer beast isn’t just connecting cities; it’s turbocharging cultural exchanges and economic ties. 🏙️💼 With numbers like these, the bridge is quickly becoming the ‘It Girl’ of global infrastructure. 🌍👑
