As winter's first breath arrives with Lidong, a groundbreaking collaboration warms the Pearl River Delta. For the first time in history, Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao will jointly host China's 15th National Games, launching November 9 amid celebrations for the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge's seventh anniversary.
The 55-kilometer engineering marvel – the world's longest sea-crossing bridge – takes center stage in the Games' road cycling competition. Athletes will traverse a 230-kilometer route connecting urban landscapes across the Greater Bay Area, symbolizing the region's growing integration through infrastructure and shared ambition.
This coordination milestone comes as the bridge surpasses 30 million vehicle crossings since 2018, having slashed travel times between Zhuhai and Hong Kong from 4 hours to 45 minutes. Sports officials emphasize the event showcases 'three regions working as one,' aligning with national strategies to deepen economic and cultural ties.
