ZHUHAI/MACAO (Xinhua): A new port to facilitate travel between Macao and Zhuhai, south China's Guangdong Province, was officially put into use Tuesday (Aug 18), a new step to boost development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Dubbed a "super passage," the main working area of the Hengqin port has a total floor area of 450,000sq m, equivalent to 63 football fields. It has a designed daily capacity of 222,000 passengers, which can help ease the pressure of Gongbei Port and increase the daily capacity for passenger flow between Guangdong and Macao.
