Hey everyone! 🌟 Have you ever heard of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge? It’s the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world! That’s right—a bridge that goes over the sea for 55 kilometers! 😮🌉
Guess what? In the first three months of this year, a record-breaking number of people traveled across this amazing bridge! Over 7.5 million trips were made by people going in and out of the Chinese mainland through the Zhuhai port of the bridge. That’s like the entire population of a big city! 🏙️
And that’s not all! More than 1.56 million vehicles crossed the bridge during this time. 🚗🚌 That’s a 31% increase compared to last year!
So, why are so many people using the bridge? Well, more visitors from Hong Kong and Macao are coming to the Chinese mainland. Over 4 million trips were made by residents of Hong Kong and Macao—that’s more than half of all the passengers! 👫
Even visitors from other countries are joining in on the fun! Over 120,000 trips were made by foreign visitors, which is a 22% increase from last year. 🌍✈️
