A view of the Shenzhong (Shenzhen-Zhongshan) Link yesterday. A group of journalists from home and abroad were invited to pay a two-day tour to the mega project, which is slated to open next month. Consisting of one underwater tunnel, two bridges, and two artificial islands, the 24-kilometer link is one of the most challenging cross-sea cluster projects in the world. It connects the city cluster of Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Huizhou in the eastern part of the Pearl River Delta with the cities of Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing in the western part, strengthening connectivity within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It will cut the travel time from Zhongshan to Shenzhen from the current two hours to less than 30 minutes.            Liu Xudong
