Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link opens, cutting travel time

The link, a mega cross-sea passage integrating bridges, islands, tunnels and underwater interchanges in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, began its trial operation on Sunday, after seven years of preparatory work and challenging construction.

After the passage is opened, the journey from Shenzhen to Zhongshan would be reduced from two hours to just 30 minutes.

"The opening of the passage is truly convenient for transportation between Shenzhen and Zhongshan, and I will choose to drive or take cross-city buses to visit Shenzhen frequently," said Yang.
