The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge（HZMB) officially opened to the general public on Oct 24，2018. Unsurprisingly,it attracted many Hong Kong residents hopping to be the first to cross the 55-kilometer bridge-and-tunnel cross-sea passage linking Hong Kong with Zhuhai and Macao. It usually takes two hours or longer to travel from Hong Kong to Zhuhai by boat. But with the HZMB，one can do it in 75 minutes by bus. Before the HZMB opened，ferries （轮渡）and trains were the primary means of transportation for Hong Kong residents to go to Guangzhou. Many Hong Kong residents have relatives and even family members in those areas which is why they go there every now and then. Now the HZMB offers Hong Kong residents a shorter passage to western Bay Area and changes the one- hour living circle closer to reality Many holiday resorts（度假胜地）are now within easy reach.
As the cost of living rises in Shenzhen and Guangzhou，it is natural for people to move to less expensive areas. To those people who travel further to western Guangdong for business or entertainment the HZMB is very conven-ient. Because it will save them a lot of valuable time.
It is common for newly opened infrastructure facilities（基础设施）around the world to experience glitches （故障）more often than usual in the early days of service. That means people should practice patience when using the HZMB on these days. According to interviews with some of the＂early birds＂who drove from Hong Kong to Zhuhai and Macao via the HZMB on Wednesday morning，the clearance procedure was quite smooth，but parking turned out to be a problem，mainly in figuring out directions.
