A bridge lying on the rainbow, Lingdingyang no longer "sighs zero".
Half Moon talks about reporter Wang Haoming.
Cangming flies over the royal wind, and the autumn water is long and the sky is green. Why do you need to say panic when breaking the waves, and look at the ocean and no longer sigh. The eight immortals cross the sea with ordinary skills, and the three places call friends close to each other. The hundred-mile lying rainbow gulls led the way, and the call was sent directly to Jiuxiao. This seven-character poem is a contemporary poet's praise for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is like a rainbow, spanning the blue waves of the Lingding Ocean. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which spans the Lingding Ocean, is not only a super project representing China's construction level, but also a super "linker" for the integration of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. A magnificent picture of a world-class bay area unfolds under the witness of the bridge.
Rainbow Lingdingyang.
Lingdingyang, known as "Lingdingyang" in ancient times, is located outside the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong, and is the sea surface of Zhuhai, Macao and Hong Kong's New Territories. More than 700 years ago, Wen Tianxiang was defeated and captured, passing by Lingdingyang, and wrote the famous article "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang". One of them sighed: "The panic beachhead says panic, and the ocean sighs for nothing." Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. ”
More than 180 years ago, Ling Dingyang witnessed the struggle of the military and civilians of Guangdong against the British colonizers and opium**: on July 7, 1839, British sailors killed a local farmer, Lin Weixi, in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Lin Zexu heard the news of the defense of the Pearl River estuary, and in September of that year, the British side of the short hand, the outbreak of the "Kowloon Naval Battle", after which, the Opium War broke out, the Qing ** signed the Treaty of Nanjing, Hong Kong fell into the hands of the colonizers......
The wheels of history are rolling forward, and Lingdingyang has witnessed one after another vicissitudes of life. Today, Hong Kong and Macao have returned to the embrace of the motherland, and the once small fishing villages of Shenzhen and Zhuhai have become ...... modern international special economic zones
Lingdingyang is no longer "sighing". The coastal area of Lingding Ocean has become one of the most dynamic regions in China, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world's longest sea-crossing bridge with a total length of 55 kilometers, has gone through 6 years of preparation and 9 years of construction, and tens of thousands of builders have overcome obstacles and created a miracle in the history of world bridges.
Now, another 24-kilometre-long mega-project in the Greater Bay Area, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, has been fully completed and is expected to be officially opened to traffic within the year. Together with the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the Nansha Bridge, the Humen Bridge and the Shiziyang Passage under construction, which are already in operation on the north and south sides, it forms a new cross-sea corridor group in the Greater Bay Area, which is witnessing the region's progress towards a world-class urban agglomeration.
On December 15, 2023, tourists take a group photo on the east artificial island of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
The arteries of the Bay Area, reaching the hearts of the people.
On holidays, Hong Kong and Macau self-driving tourists from Zhuhai and other surrounding cities in Guangdong Province are endless, and Hong Kong and Macau single-plate cars can be seen everywhere in the parking lots of Zhuhai's major shopping malls. Tang Xian, a Hong Kong resident, often takes his family to Zhuhai for dinner and shopping on weekends to experience the different city fireworks.
The opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has shortened the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai and Macao from 3 hours to about 45 minutes. In 2023, with the implementation of the policies of "Hong Kong cars going north" and "Macao cars going north", the "one-hour living circle" of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao will be basically formed.
In 2023, the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will refresh the record for the highest number of vehicles entering and leaving the country in a single day for 20 consecutive times, with the highest number of vehicles entering and exiting in a single day exceeding 170,000 vehicles. Among them, the number of "Hong Kong cars going north" and "Macao cars going north" exceeded 139 during the year50,000 vehicles, accounting for more than 40% of the total traffic.
In December 2023, the "Via Zhuhai-Hong Kong" officially came into effect, allowing mainland passengers to fly abroad via "Zhuhai Airport - Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge - Hong Kong Airport", and international passengers to the mainland via "Hong Kong Airport - Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge - Zhuhai Airport". During this period, it only transited through Hong Kong Airport and did not need to go through the immigration formalities of Hong Kong.
On December 15th, facing the warm winter sun, the first group bus full of tourists departed from the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to Blue Dolphin Island. With the galloping bus, the sail-shaped Jiuzhou Bridge, the dolphin-shaped Jianghai Bridge, and the Chinese knot-shaped Qingzhou Bridge appeared in turn. Blue Dolphin Island, which was opened to tourists for the first time, is surrounded by beautiful scenery, and tourists keep checking in and taking pictures.
Behind the smooth and prosperous cars, it is inseparable from the convenient customs clearance environment, and the continuous deepening of the connection rules and docking mechanism between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge border inspection station, the station took the lead in building and implementing a new mode of customs clearance and inspection of "cooperative inspection and one-time release". In addition, it has also established an interconnection mechanism with port visa agencies, added a fast track information collection and convenience point, and provided passengers with a one-stop service of "consultation + collection + customs clearance".

Three-way "rush, the future can be expected."
In the early morning, 50 kilometers away from the foothold of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, in Doumen District, Zhuhai City, the Doumen Branch of Zhuhai Haimiao Aquatic Products Company was brightly lit - workers wearing leather pockets and stepping on water shoes carried baskets of lively Roche shrimp into the car competently, and the van full of seafood was locked and weighed under the supervision of the customs camera, drove out of the gate, and galloped away.
More than two hours later, the fresh fish and shrimp will appear in Hong Kong's wholesale markets through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge across the Lingding Ocean, and will be served to diners' tables at noon. "Before the bridge was officially opened to traffic, we had been going through Shenzhen Wenjindu Port to Hong Kong ** fresh seafood, and it took six or seven hours to make a trip. Due to the characteristics of aquatic products, long-distance transportation not only affects the freshness, but also tends to bring high losses. Weng Xipeng, general manager of Zhuhai Haimiao Aquatic Products, said, "After the official opening of the bridge, we can transport the products to Hong Kong in only about an hour, which not only reduces the transportation time, but also greatly improves the survival rate of fresh seafood, and saves nearly half of the transportation costs." ”
The 24-hour cross-border customs clearance at the port has helped the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge become the logistics artery of the Greater Bay Area. According to data from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Border Inspection Station, in 2023, more than 57 trucks entered and exited through the Zhuhai Highway Port40,000 units, which is 64 times.
The moon is born on the sea, and the three places are at this time. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge drives the integrated development of logistics, capital flow and information flow between each other, and becomes a new economic and trade channel serving the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, radiating western Guangdong, connecting the southwest region of the mainland and promoting cooperation between the east and west of the country.
