Under the blue sky, among the blue sea, a Chinese white dolphin frequently jumps out of the water, its light posture is like a dancer spreading its wings in the air, and it seems to welcome the first batch of tourists to land on Blue Dolphin Island with dance music.
In October this year, the State Council officially approved the increase in the tourism functions of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge customs supervision area and the limited area of the port, allowing the orderly development of tourism activities from the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to and from Blue Dolphin Island.

On the first day of the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, 1,200 tourists boarded the bridge. After getting off the shuttle bus, Mr. Zhang said that he had come to Zhuhai by plane from Beijing and was fortunate to be the first passenger to board the bus. "Today is a day to remember. Mr. Zhang said.
"A beautiful bridge, holding up Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, that is the rainbow rising in the sea, the ...... of a thousand years of embrace" Holding a friend who has not seen him for many years, stepping on the 120 steps, Luo Huihong couldn't help humming the song "China Bridge". This is a special gathering, middle school friends who have not been together for more than 10 years came from Beijing, Suzhou, Changsha, Guangzhou and other places to gather in Zhuhai to "check in" the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
At 10:40 a.m. on the first day of opening, Luo Huihong and her friends set off from Zhuhai Highway Port with the first group of tourists of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Tour, and boarded the special bus to start the journey after being verified and inspected by border inspection, customs and other departments in the tourism inspection hall.

Luo Huihong told the "Workers' Daily" reporter that they "deliberately chose the first group, and after seeing the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge with their own eyes, they felt not only pride, but also like being endowed with a kind of strength, which was very shocking." Luo Huihong agreed with her friends to have another in-depth tour of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
The open area shows the construction process of the bridge
Sitting on the shuttle bus, looking at the Jiuzhou Bridge in the shape of "sails", the Jianghai Bridge in the shape of "dolphins", and the Qingzhou Bridge in the shape of "Chinese knots", Guo Yinzhong, who is nearly eighty years old, sighed again and again: "This project is too great, the motherland is amazing!" After getting off the bus, Guo Yinzhong pointed to the Blue Dolphin Island, bent down and told his wife in a wheelchair that if he boarded the artificial island, he might have the opportunity to see Chinese white dolphins.
The "oyster" shaped Blue Dolphin Island, with an above-ground construction area of about 26,700 square meters, absorbs the "arcade" elements of Lingnan architectural characteristics, and has the world's largest marine fair-faced concrete building complex. As an important part of the "bridge, island and tunnel" cluster project of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, it also undertakes the basic functions of bridge and tunnel conversion, traffic services, emergency rescue, maintenance and operation and maintenance.
Duan Guoqin, deputy director of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Authority, said that the island's current open areas include a plaza area on the ground floor, a visitor service center, and a bridge construction exhibition hall and viewing platform on the fourth floor. The interior of the exhibition hall displays the construction process and panoramic photos of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, with 20 technical equipment models and raw material samples for the construction of the bridge. The narrator will tell wonderful stories during the construction of the bridge and show the new technology and high technology in the construction process.
"My son's family works in Zhuhai, and my daughter-in-law specially booked tickets for us on the first day of opening, and my daughter accompanied me and my wife from Gansu to see the great project of the motherland with our own eyes. Born in 1945, Guo Yinzhong, a retired teacher from Lanzhou University, has witnessed the dramatic changes that have taken place in the country over the decades. Looking at this great achievement today, he is very proud. Standing on the observation deck, Kwok Yinzhong looked around, not far from Hong Kong's Lantau Island, which is close to the Hong Kong International Airport, and a plane flew overhead in minutes.
New tourism models such as "one trip with multiple stops" will be explored
Chen Shilan from Foshan got up early in the morning on December 15, drove from home before 6 o'clock, and arrived in Zhuhai at 8 o'clock. "I have always wanted to know how the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was built, what key technologies and equipment are available, and what innovations are made in terms of construction concepts, management mechanisms, and engineering technologies. Chen Shilan said that he found the answer in the exhibition hall on the 4th floor of Blue Dolphin Island, and said that he would bring his children to come again next time, so that they could experience the truth of overcoming difficulties and not giving up easily from this great project.
As the most technically complex, most difficult and largest cross-sea project in the history of highway construction in the world, and as a milestone for China to move from a bridge country to a bridge power, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has achieved fruitful results and created a number of world's best, and has been named "National Transportation Science Base" and "National Science Education Base".
According to reports, in the next stage, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Authority will explore and carry out projects such as the Bridge Museum, the Sea Meeting Room, and the Dream Building Center, and build Blue Dolphin Island into a well-known tourist destination in the Greater Bay Area that integrates the display and embodiment of the world's engineering miracles, the scenery of the Lingding Ocean, and the culture of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
The reporter learned that in order to ensure the smooth passage of passengers after the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge tourism, the customs has strengthened the construction of smart customs, and adopted a joint inspection of customs and security inspection for passengers' luggage. With reference to international advanced practices, a one-way glass observation room is set up according to local conditions to create a "non-inductive customs clearance" atmosphere in an all-round way. In the future, Zhuhai will continue to give full play to its unique advantages of "one bridge connecting three places", work with Hong Kong and Macao to plan more innovative measures, and explore new tourism models such as "one trip with multiple stops", so as to provide tourists with a safer, smoother and more exciting travel experience.
