You WON’T believe what photographs two Russians took in Hong Kong

The challenging project, part of China’s planned national highway network, linking the opposite banks of the Pearl River, has an initial cost of 105 billion yuan (15.7 billion US dollars), and includes a tunnel, an artificial island, and the 55-km bridge.

The total length is 89 kilometres. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will reduce to less than 30-minute driving, the travel time between Zhuhai and Hong Kong. Before the completition of the bridge the travel was around one hour by sea and over three hours by car. The bridge will be a boost to the local tourism industry providing tourists with the opportunity of visiting Macau on top of visiting Hong Kong.
