Greater Bay Area's bridge to the future

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is the national strategy devised and deployed by President Xi Jinping. It is a new measure to promote all-around opening-up in the new era, a new practice for promoting the cause of "one country, two systems" and maintaining the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao, and a new exploration of the interactive development of Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the cross border transportation infrastructure under the framework of "one country, two systems". As a 55-kilometer-long cross-sea bridge, it links the three different custom areas of Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai, and connects the east and west sides of the Pearl River estuary. It is a trans-century project that is of great significance to China's reform and opening-up as well as the coordinated development of Guangdong province, Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge makes up for the shortage of internal channels in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Without its construction, transportation connection of the east and west coasts of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area would have been dependent on Humen Bridge, which was built in 1997.
