The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) just smashed its daily passenger record with 130,000 travelers passing through Zhuhai Port on Monday! This spike came during Lunar New Year celebrations, proving the mega-project is becoming Asia’s ultimate travel artery.
Traffic alert: The numbers blew past last year’s Mid-Autumn Festival peak of 115,000. Over three days, 310,000 passengers and 41,000 vehicles crossed the bridge – a 520% jump in people and 240% surge in cars compared to 2023’s Spring Festival. Talk about FOMO energy!
Stretching 55 km across the Pearl River Delta, the HZMB isn’t just a marvel of engineering – it’s turbocharging the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Imagine blasting from Hong Kong SAR to mainland Zhuhai or Macao SAR in under an hour. Perfect for foodies chasing dim sum, entrepreneurs closing deals, or influencers snapping sunset bridge selfies!
This record-breaking flow signals growing economic ties in one of Asia’s most dynamic regions. Who needs flying carpets when you’ve got a bridge that moves millions?
