The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) officially came into service on Oct. 23, 2018.  With a total length of 55 kilometers, it is the longest cross-sea bridge in the world.

It cuts travel time between Hong Kong SAR and Zhuhai & Macao SAR from three hours to just 45 minutes.

As an indispensable key infrastructure in the Greater Bay Area, HZMB is a witness of China's reform and opening-up policy and an important bond for the communication between the mainland and HKSAR & Macao SAR.

It will play a significant role in promoting the integration of the GBA and become the accelerator and multiplier of its economic development.

Let's explore the stories behind the building of HZMB.
