The Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge is not only a physical spatial connector, but also a catalyst for the multidimensional integration of Guangdong Hong Kong Macao economy, culture, technology, etc., "said Chen Ruidong, General Manager of China Travel Service in Hong Kong recently. On the 13th, the investment promotion conference with the theme of "Building a New Economic and Trade Corridor for the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge and Supporting the Coordinated Development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao" was held in Hong Kong, hosted by the Zhuhai Municipal Government of Guangdong Province. Several individuals have stated that recently, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge is further accelerating the integrated development of people, logistics, capital, and information flows between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, bringing more and more opportunities to the Greater Bay Area. At the recent Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge themed promotion event, Zhuhai Mayor Huang Zhihao stated that the service capacity of the bridge and port has been continuously improving, and people and vehicles are thriving. Since the beginning of this year, an average of over 14000 vehicles have entered and exited the Zhuhai highway port via the bridge every day. Since the beginning of this year, after optimization and renovation, the one-way clearance capacity of small passenger cars at Daqiao Port has been increased from the originally designed average of 440 vehicles per hour to 1000 vehicles per hour. According to data from the Zhuhai Municipal Government, since the implementation of the "Hong Kong vehicles heading north" policy, the number of single license plate vehicles entering and leaving Hong Kong has exceeded one million. The government is carrying out a project to improve the compatibility of passenger and freight vehicles, increasing the speed of small passenger cars on the bridge to 1500 vehicles per hour per side. Mr. He, a Hong Kong motor vehicle owner, and his family of three have been going to Zhuhai for parent-child trips almost every weekend since they applied for the "Hong Kong Motor Vehicle Northbound" policy in January this year. Just lightly press the accelerator to enter the border, "he said. Since the beginning of this year, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge has achieved full coverage of goods receiving and dispatching in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government) in mainland China. In the first half of the year, the import and export value exceeded 100 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 16%. Mr. Weng is the person in charge of a seafood company in Zhuhai city. Before the bridge was opened, his aquatic products had to pass through the Humen Bridge to clear customs in Shenzhen and reach Hong Kong. Nowadays, the bridge implements a "one-stop" inspection mode for trucks, and clearance vehicles only need to "stop once and submit one document" to complete the inspection. Miss Yang and her family recently went north to Yangjiang for a three-day trip, and then took the Jinba bus across the bridge back to Hong Kong. She said that the bridge winds like a long dragon over the sea, accompanied by the sunset glow, and deeply feels that the development of national infrastructure has brought more convenience to the citizens of the Greater Bay Area. The emergence of new opportunities in the "golden land in front of the door" Bay Area is accelerating. The Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge connects the three regions, providing unprecedented opportunities for the development of cross-border logistics and e-commerce. Leveraging the complementary resource advantages of Zhuhai and Hong Kong, jointly building a new economic and trade channel for the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, and promoting the development of air logistics is a strategic measure, "said Qiu Changxian, General Manager of Zhuhai Hong Kong Airport Management Co., Ltd. The inspection site for imported meat, fruits, chilled aquatic products, and edible aquatic animals at the Zhuhai Port of Daqiao has been completed. After the site is inspected by customs, high-quality foreign seafood such as king crabs and peony shrimp can enter the country through Hong Kong Airport and Daqiao, be packaged and sent to the vast domestic market in Zhuhai. Huang Qianting, representative of Zhuhai Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said that the "Green Channel for Fresh Food Supply to Hong Kong" has been opened at Daqiao Port, and the supply of fresh food from mainland China to Hong Kong has been expanded to all categories. Starting from July this year, the customs clearance inspection period has been extended from 8 hours to 16 hours, achieving "inspection and release at the same time as reporting and inspection". Business representatives from Hong Kong have stated that the development of many enterprises in Hong Kong has benefited from the completion of the new economic and trade channel of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge. Many Hong Kong companies with factories in Zhongshan or Jiangmen export their goods directly to Hong Kong and Macao through the bridge, making business convenient. Zhang Jinsong, Director of the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province, hopes that entrepreneurs from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao can personally experience the economic vitality of the new economic and trade channel of the bridge, seek new opportunities for industrial development and commercial cooperation, leverage their own advantages and industry influence, and contribute to the coordinated development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. The "City Partners" jointly draw a new blueprint for the Bay Area, and the construction of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge economic and trade new channel is surging. A series of economic and trade plans and cooperation projects are accelerating their implementation. At the theme promotion conference of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge on the 13th, 20 projects were successfully signed, involving multiple industries such as new energy, artificial intelligence, cross-border e-commerce, logistics and transportation, with a total agreement investment of 1.85 billion yuan. We hope to create a demonstrative logistics platform with the most comprehensive logistics formats and the highest standards. In the future, we will continuously strengthen collaborative cooperation with diverse entities in Hong Kong and Macao, create a full industry chain of 'logistics+trade+finance', and promote the deep integration and development of logistics in the three regions Yan Zhuojin, Deputy General Manager of Zhuhai Transportation Holdings Group Co., Ltd., said. Liao Zhenxin, Acting Director of the Transport and Logistics Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government, said that the SAR Government encouraged the industry to make good use of the bridge, strengthen cooperation with the west bank of the the Pearl River, and support the high-quality development of the west bank of the the Pearl River. Hong Kong Logistics Association Chairman Chung Hung Hing believes that the opening of the bridge allows Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau to deepen cooperation in areas such as air and land logistics, e-commerce, and cold chain food. In the process of joint development among the three regions, Hong Kong's services and technology can also radiate to the mainland through Zhuhai, improving the overall level of logistics industry development in the mainland. Huang Zhihao said that the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge provides unlimited opportunities and possibilities for the construction of the Greater Bay Area. Let us work together to strengthen the new economic and trade channel of the bridge and make positive contributions to writing a new chapter in the development of the Bay Area. (New Society)
