The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) officially opened to traffic on Wednesday as passengers crowded departure halls.

One day after President Xi Jinping announced its opening at a ceremony held in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, the bridge's ports in three different administrative regions started serving travelers around-the-clock, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

As the first batch of cross-boundary vehicles on Wednesday left the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities to drive on the 55-km-long bridge, the Macao border zone, covering an area of 71.6 hectares, officially opened at 9:00 a.m.

The passengers went to the departure hall and passed through the boundary checkpoints via automatic or manned channels. They bought tickets for shuttle buses from Macao to Hong Kong, with cash or by Alipay.

To ensure faster boundary crossings for passengers, the Macao and Zhuhai ports jointly use a one-off immigration clearance model, which allows travelers to queue up only once to finish both exit and entry procedures of the two cities in about 30 seconds.

The main section of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge includes 23 kilometers of bridges, a 6.7-km-long undersea tunnel, and two artificial islands.

HZMB cuts travel time between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and Zhuhai City from three hours to just 30 minutes, further integrating the cities in the Pearl River Delta.

It will also help improve personnel and trade exchanges between Hong Kong SAR, Guangdong Province, and Macao SAR, benefit the development of the area and enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the Greater Bay Area and the Pearl River Delta.

Hong Kong residents see new bridge as Chinese propaganda

This is a America media report. Damn America, Childish and ridiculous

America is jealous. Because they can only build border walls.

Simply Amazing. Chinese are great builders.

The 19th century American Great Railway Movement was established by the blood and bones of Chinese workers.

In today's world, Chinese labor no longer needs life and blood to build roads for hypocritical Americans.

I know Chinese have immigrated to the US during the gold rush period, much earlier than many of the Europeans like Irish, Italians and Germans.

This is a America media report. Damn America, Childish and ridiculous

America is jealous. Because they can only build border walls.

Their media and regime is neo-fascis, hence, they like Goebbels-like propaganda work.

In the past, it used to work; today, the world just laughs it off.
