The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, a monumental infrastructure project connecting Hong Kong, Macao, and Zhuhai, has facilitated over 93.34 million passenger trips since its inauguration in October 2018. According to the bridge’s border inspection station, the Zhuhai port alone has seen a steady increase in traffic, with 12.88 million passenger trips and 860,000 vehicle trips recorded in 2019. By 2024, these figures surged to 27 million passenger trips and 5.55 million vehicle trips, with 2025 projections estimating over 30 million passenger trips and 6 million vehicle trips. Chen Faqiu, head of the inspection station, attributed this growth to the bridge’s role in enhancing regional connectivity and tourism. The 55-kilometer bridge, the world’s longest sea crossing, has significantly reduced travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai/Macao from three hours to approximately 45 minutes. This efficiency has spurred tourism, with mainland visitors accounting for over 10.15 million trips this year, including 4.6 million tourist visa holders. The bridge continues to serve as a vital link, fostering economic and cultural exchange across the region.
