Regarded as one of the most significant pieces of infrastructure in the Greater Bay Area of China, the Zhuhai Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge saw its number of passengers and vehicles soar beyond anything in the bridge's history. The 27 million passengers and 5.55 million vehicles that crossed the bridge in 2024 represented a 72% and 71% increase, respectively, over the 2023 totals.
 

In 2024, more than 16.2 million residents of Hong Kong and Macau passed through the Zhuhai Port, which is part of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. That 63% year-on-year growth in passenger volume accounted for nearly 60% of all the people that went through that port.
 

The port and the bridge are relatively new infrastructures, opened in 2018 and 2019, respectively. However, the port has seen a clear uptick in travel on weekends and holidays. In fact, 50 days out of 2024 saw the port serve over 100,000 passengers in a single day, which was an uptick we barely saw in the 5 days of 2023 that registered over 100,000 port passengers.
 

Residents of Hong Kong and Macau have embraced "Shopping in the Mainland," even as a growing number of mainland cities are issuing individual travel permits that allow their residents to come to Hong Kong and Macau. The planners of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge are hoping that the drawbridge to the mainland will be a tourism generator for the bridge itself.

The annual vehicle count on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge reached over 5 million in 2024, marking the first time that milestone had been achieved since the bridge's inception. That figure was elevated quite a bit—nearly doubled, in fact—thanks to two policies whereby vehicles coming from the S.A.R.s could travel across the bridge and into mainland China. In 2024, more than 3 million vehicles from Hong Kong and Macau traveled north across the bridge.
