The New Year Fireworks in the
2026-02-24
The warmth of Cantonese, the gentleness of Minnan dialect, and the cheerfulness of Northeastern dialect... During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse, in the streets and alleys of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, dialects from various regions intermingle and converge, expressing endless blessings for the new year; Lion dances, dazzling fireworks, and bustling flower markets, classic New Year customs are staged in rotation, filling people's expectations for the new year. Following the trend of the Chinese New Year, world-class "super projects" such as the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, the Shenzhen Zhongshan Link, and the Huangmaohai Cross Sea Link not only turn the vision of a "1-hour living circle" in the Greater Bay Area into reality, but also make the road to reunion smoother, the atmosphere of fireworks more intense, and the development scene more bright. The early morning Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge Zhuhai Highway Port has already been awakened by the lively crowd. A family visiting with elderly and young relatives carrying big and small bags, hurrying but unable to hide their laughter; The silver haired group, study tour group, and shopping group have sequential teams, with expectations for the journey on their faces. As a "golden passage" connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, this bridge became a relay station for millions of people traveling in both directions during the Spring Festival. We are the Greater Bay Area tourism route. A few days ago, we visited Shenzhen and Zhuhai, and these days we are going to Macau and Hong Kong to 'check-in'. ”Tour guide Chen Pingyi from Jiangxi is leading over a hundred group members through the border inspection "cooperative inspection, one-time release" channel to complete customs clearance procedures. In less than 10 minutes, the entire team successfully completed the inspection and embarked on their journey. She smiled and said that this tourist route, which connects the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge and the Shenzhen Zhongshan Link, is extremely popular. It not only allows visitors to appreciate the magnificence of the "super project", but also to experience the unique cultural customs of the three places. During the Spring Festival, almost every tour was packed with groups. One bridge connects three places, making cultural and tourism more integrated. Strolling along the Lovers' Road in Zhuhai to enjoy the scenery, heading to Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong to admire the sea view, and strolling through the Shishou Xin Street on the Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau... The Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge has made cross-border tourism convenient and efficient. According to data from the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge border checkpoint, since February this year, more than 200000 tourists with tourist visas have entered and exited the port, making "Bay Area Tour" one of the most popular travel choices for this Spring Festival. The fireworks in the port contain the most touching New Year's flavor. Before the Spring Festival, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Sea Flower Market made its debut at the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge. The exhibition booth was filled with colorful flowers, exuding the warmth of the new year. As the only designated port of entry for the policies of "Hong Kong cars heading north" and "Australian cars heading north", a large number of Hong Kong and Macao residents choose to drive here during the Spring Festival. I didn't expect to be able to visit the flower market and buy two peonies on the way through customs, hoping for a prosperous and prosperous future. "Chen Yingmei, a passenger on the" Hong Kong Bus North "route, picked out flowers with her child, her tone full of joy." The price is affordable, and we came here specifically to purchase New Year's goods. "There is a lively atmosphere of" going north "and a joyful atmosphere of" going south ". We departed from Sanjiao Town in Zhongshan at 7am and drove to Hong Kong for the first time. We were particularly excited and planned to take our wife and children to eat delicious food and visit Disneyland. Mr. Yang, a car owner from Zhongshan, and his family arrived at the port and, under the guidance of the border police, completed the customs clearance operation in just one minute, smoothly heading towards Hong Kong. With the implementation of the "Guangdong Car Southbound" policy, the convenience of driving freely in Hong Kong's urban areas has attracted a large number of Guangdong car owners to try new things during the holidays. The passenger flow of 'Guangdong cars heading south' has significantly increased compared to before the holiday, and on some days it is close to saturation. The vast majority of drivers are driving out of the country for the first time, "said Cheng Chun, the captain of the fourth duty team at the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge border inspection station. The passengers passing through customs before the holiday are mainly business people, while during the Spring Festival, they are mainly family and parent-child tourists. The flowing traffic connects the fireworks and warmth of the three places. The busyness of ports drives the prosperity of commercial districts. The convenient mode of one vehicle customs clearance efficiently connects the consumption chain of "ports scenic spots commercial districts", fully unleashing the consumption vitality of the Greater Bay Area. The person in charge of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge Border Inspection Station introduced that from February 15th (December 28th) to February 17th (January 1st) at 17:30, the number of inbound and outbound passengers inspected by the Zhuhai Border Inspection Station at the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge Border Inspection Station has reached 250000, and the traffic volume has reached 46000 vehicles. Among them, there were over 158000 inbound and outbound residents from Hong Kong and Macau, and over 34000 single license plate vehicles from Hong Kong and Macau. To properly cope with the peak passenger and traffic flow at the port during the Spring Festival, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge border inspection station has planned and implemented precise measures in advance, continuously optimized the diversion and diversion plan, established a linkage mechanism with the Hong Kong and Macao immigration management departments, exchanged passenger flow information in advance, and opened more and more inspection channels; In response to the high proportion of elderly and children clearing customs during the Spring Festival, pre guidance and manual inspection positions will be added to ensure smooth, safe and orderly customs clearance for passengers with efficient services. Not only the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, but also the "super projects" such as the Shenzhen Zhongshan Passage and the Huangmaohai Cross Sea Passage have made the "1-hour living circle" in the Greater Bay Area even closer. After the opening of the Shenzhen Zhongshan Expressway, the travel time from Shenzhen to Zhongshan has been shortened by more than half. It used to take 2 and a half hours, but now it can be reached in just over an hour, "said Ms. Chen, a resident of Shenzhen. Her two classmates bought a house in Zhongshan and regarded it as the" backyard of Shenzhen, "and a classmate who runs a factory moved the factory to Zhongshan. Working in Shenzhen and living in Zhongshan "has become a new choice for more and more people, with direct buses shuttling between the two commercial districts and airports, making travel more convenient. The 'super engineering' not only facilitates life, but also activates industrial momentum. "The connection of the" super project "in the Greater Bay Area has pushed the" fast forward "key for regional industrial collaboration." The relevant person in charge of Jialichuang said that the "super project" has made the Bay Area "smaller" and the city "larger", which can more effectively integrate the innovative design of Shenzhen and the intelligent manufacturing capacity of the Pearl River Delta, allowing the closed-loop of "R&D - proofing - production" to flow quickly in the Bay Area, accelerating the pace of regional hardware innovation. Changhong lies on the waves connecting three places, with fireworks and warmth filling the bay area. During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse, a series of "super projects" stand tall on the Lingdingyang. They are not only transportation hubs connecting the region, but also emotional bonds carrying reunion and powerful engines driving development. They make the New Year's atmosphere, friendship, and development of the Greater Bay Area stronger, and write a new chapter of integrated development in the Greater Bay Area in the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
