The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge Zhuhai–Macao Port (Chinese: 港珠澳大橋珠澳口岸) is a large-scale border control complex located at the western end of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge (HZMB). It is situated on an artificial island in the Pearl River Estuary, between Gongbei, Zhuhai and Cotai, Macau. The facility consists of two independent immigration and customs checkpoints:the Zhuhai Port, operated by mainland Chinese authorities, and the Macau Port, operated under the jurisdiction of the Macao Special Administrative Region.^[1]

The port officially opened on 24 October 2018, the same day as the bridge's full operation. It provides 24-hour passenger and vehicle clearance, forming the western terminus of the 55 km bridge and serving as a key node in the Greater Bay Area transportation network.^[2]

Each side of the port maintains independent legal systems, customs controls, and inspection areas, but both are co-located on the same island. The boundary between the Zhuhai and Macau jurisdictions is clearly demarcated on the island and managed cooperatively.^[3]

The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge (HZMB), spanning 55 km across the Pearl River Estuary, commenced construction in December 2009 and was structurally completed on 6 February 2018.

Simultaneously, reclamation for the Zhuhai–Macao Port artificial island was finished in November 2013, providing the foundation for the two-border checkpoints.^[4]

On 23 October 2018, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping officially inaugurated the HZMB, including the three-port system. The port complex began public operations at 09:00 on 24 October 2018.

The artificial island hosts both the Zhuhai Port (northern section) and Macau Port (southern section), forming an integrated land border hub. ^[5]The island combines independent jurisdictions with a shared infrastructure model, enabling landlord-like operations where customs, immigration, and quarantine (CIQ) operate across China's and Macau’s schedules.^[6]

Since its opening, the port has functioned 24‑hour daily, supporting expedited cross-border inspections with "one-stop, joint clearance" procedures and drastically reducing travel times—Hong Kong to Macau/Zhuhai trips can be completed in just 40 minutes.^[7]

The Zhuhai–Macao Port is located on an artificial island constructed through large-scale reclamation in the Pearl River Estuary. The island spans approximately 1 square kilometre, and is divided into two zones:

• the northern section, administered by Zhuhai under mainland China’s jurisdiction, and
• the southern section, under the jurisdiction of the Macao Special Administrative Region.

Although physically adjacent, the two ports operate independently with distinct customs and immigration systems, in accordance with the "One Country, Two Systems" principle.

Zhuhai Port handles both vehicle and passenger clearance through dedicated halls and automated systems. A streamlined “one-stop” inspection model is used for cross-boundary vehicles.

Macau Port is equipped with modern customs, immigration, and transport interchanges, including the coach terminals. The port is a 24-hour facility serving both local and cross-border travellers.
