Since its October 2018 debut, the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge has welcomed over 90 million passengers, according to Zhuhai port inspection data. 🤯 That's like an entire city crossing one mega-bridge!
So far, more than 18.68 million vehicles have joined the ride. In 2024 alone, the bridge saw 27 million travelers, and forecasts predict it could exceed 30 million by year-end. 🚗💨
The secret? Speed and flexibility. What once took three hours between Hong Kong and Zhuhai now takes just 30 minutes, making business trips, study visits and family reunions a breeze for residents of Hong Kong and Macao. Trips by these residents jumped from 4.5 million in 2019 to 16.2 million in 2024—even before 2025 hit 12.7 million crossings by mid-year. ✈️📈
Meanwhile, tourism from the Chinese mainland is on the rise. Since early 2025, over 9 million mainland residents have explored Hong Kong and Macao via the bridge, discovering new experiences and boosting local economies. 🌏✨
More than just steel and concrete, this bridge is a symbol of seamless connection—linking cultures, communities and opportunities across regions. 🌉🤝
