The Zhongshan Bridge is a key project of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, or ShenZhong Link.
It is a 1,170-meter double tower cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 580 meters. It has two main towers in the east and west respectively, which are as tall as a 70-storey building, and the west tower is situated in Ma'an Island, Cuiheng New District, Zhongshan.
From the sea, the Zhongshan Bridge stands like a "giant harp" towering over the sea, playing the "melody of the Greater Bay Area" in the wind.
