In the Greater Bay Area, breaking records in pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge has become almost routine - on April 1st, the daily inbound and outbound vehicular traffic on the bridge exceeded 19000 vehicles. This is the 23rd time since the bridge resumed normal customs clearance last year that it has broken its own "ceiling". The surge of people goes beyond this: Hong Kong's total population has returned to 7.5 million; Guangdong, with a permanent population of 127 million, has remained the "largest province in China's population" for the 17th consecutive year; During the Spring Festival holiday, the number of inbound tourists to Macau exceeded one million, with the annual target of 33 million inbound tourists... Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau have broken records in different dimensions of "people", all reflecting the current "popularity" of the Greater Bay Area. How to approach it rationally beyond the heat? What is shaping a "hot and bustling" Greater Bay Area behind its popularity? Let's first look at the flow of people. Since last year, the policies of "Hong Kong cars heading north" and "Macau cars heading north" have been implemented one after another, leading to a wave of people from Hong Kong and Macau going north to the mainland. What is rare is that the trend has continued to this day and is constantly rising - from walking horses and observing flowers to exploring the "river of cars" in mainland China, to delving into the life and even work of mainland residents, "going north" is transforming into a way of daily life that is deeply rooted in Hong Kong and Macao. Among them, there is naturally a growing advantage of the "Greater Bay Area on the track": today, the main cities in the Greater Bay Area have basically achieved one hour of access; The accelerated release of policy dividends such as "cooperative inspection, one-time release" and "flying through Zhuhai, Hong Kong, and Macao" has led to a continuous narrowing of the spatial and temporal distance between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. And this flow is not only circulating within the Greater Bay Area. Over the past year, Hong Kong has launched the "High end Talent Pass Program", with the Greater Bay Area as its hinterland and label, to attract high-end talents from around the world. Last year alone, over 240000 people applied to Hong Kong through various talent introduction programs, far exceeding the talent introduction target of 35000 people set in 2022. At the beginning of this year, Hong Kong and Guangdong signed a framework agreement on promoting talent cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong, which specifically mentioned the establishment of a "talent cooperation coordination mechanism". Hong Kong leverages its advantage of being a "super contact person" to attract talent, while Guangdong retains talent with a strong industrial foundation. A talent circulation network built under the name of the "Bay Area" is taking shape. Looking at the hotspots gathered again. Beyond the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, the peak two-way passenger flow at Hong Kong Shenzhen ports and the continuous flow of people between Zhuhai and Macao ports are gradually expanding the scope of cross-border tourism hotspots. Under the gathering of crowds, Macau, an "old" tourist city, has resurfaced: as of the end of February this year, the cumulative number of tourists in Macau has exceeded 6.1 million, an increase of 1.1 times from the previous year. Behind the data, Macau relies on the new policy of convenient commuting in the Bay Area and collaborates with the cultural and tourism departments of Guangdong and Hong Kong to deeply create a new development model of "one-stop multi station" tourism linkage. This "pattern opening" drainage model has also enabled this unique city to continue to "turn red". The gathering place of people not only has its highlights, but also represents opportunities. In the first quarter of this year, in Guangzhou alone, there were nearly 50 key exhibition halls with almost full schedules, covering a total area of 2 million square meters. The upcoming 135th Canton Fair will push the exhibition economy to another peak. At the same time, Hong Kong and Macau are also
