The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), the world's longest sea-crossing bridge, just hit a major milestone: over 20,000 vehicles crossed its Zhuhai section in a single day during China's National Day holiday rush 🚗💨. That’s the highest daily traffic since the bridge opened in 2018!
From Tuesday to Saturday, 453,000 passengers and 93,000 vehicles zoomed through the Zhuhai checkpoint—a 34% and 56% jump compared to last year. Even cooler? Over 56,000 vehicles from Hong Kong and Macao headed to the Chinese mainland, with families road-tripping for holiday shopping, sightseeing, and food adventures 🛍️🍜.
Border officials say the bridge has become a ‘superhighway’ for cross-strait travel, blending convenience with jaw-dropping engineering. Fun fact: This 55-kilometer marvel connects Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, and Zhuhai in Guangdong Province, slashing travel time between the regions from hours to minutes ⏱️.
And the boom isn’t slowing down—20 million travelers have used the Zhuhai checkpoint this year alone, already topping 2022’s total! Whether you’re a road-trip junkie or a culture explorer, this bridge is rewriting how Asia connects 🌏✨.
