China’s Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, the futuristic cross-sea corridor that’s redefining travel in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, just smashed its traffic record during the National Day holiday—proving it’s the hotspot for road trippers! 🚗✨
On October 1 alone, a whopping 155,000 vehicles zoomed through the 24-kilometer marvel, marking its busiest day since opening in June. Talk about a #TrafficGlowUp! To keep things smooth, over 170 staff and 100 traffic police were deployed—think of them as the highway’s Avengers squad 🦸♂️🦸♀️.
And here’s the kicker: This engineering wonder has slashed travel time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan from 2 hours to a breezy 30 minutes. Imagine swapping a Marvel movie’s runtime for a quick coffee run! ☕️
Why it matters: The link isn’t just a road—it’s a game-changer for the Greater Bay Area’s economy, connecting cities like never before. In its first 72 hours, daily traffic hit 100,000+ vehicles, already making up a quarter of all Pearl River crossings.
So next time you’re in southern China, skip the ferry—hit the Link and join the record-breaking caravan! 🌉🚙
