00:00 Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: World's Longest Cross Sea Bridge
The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge (HZMB) is a 55-kilometer (34 mi) bridge-tunnel system consisting of a series of three cable-stayed bridges, an undersea tunnel, and four artificial islands. It is both the longest sea-crossing and the longest open-sea fixed link in the world. The HZMB spans the Lingding and Jiuzhou channels, connecting Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai—three major cities on the Pearl River Delta.

47:38 Beijing Metro: World's Largest Metro Network
Beijing is China's political, economic and cultural center, as well as a fast developing megacity. As with many other metropolises in the world, traffic is a huge problem. Compared to other modes of transportation, the subway is efficient and energy-saving and undoubtedly one of the best ways to solve the traffic problem in Beijing. Currently in Beijing a mega metro network is being constructed with unprecedented speed and quality.

01:35:28 Shanghai Tower: China's Tallest Building
Lujiazui function area, Pudong, Shanghai. A skyscraper with a concept of environmental protection rises from the ground. "Shanghai Center" is one of those super constructs in the field of engineering. After its completion, it becomes the tallest building in China, at 632 meters, as well as a new landmark in Shanghai. This "dragon-shaped” skyscraper, with an environmentally innovative mandate, is through and through a scientific and technological marvel using breakthrough design and functionality.

Originally set to be opened to traffic in late 2016, the structure was completed on February 6th, 2018, and journalists were taken for a ride over the bridge. On 24 October 24th, 2018, the HZMB was opened to the public.
