According to the Department of Transport of Guangdong Province, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link (ShenZhong Link), which opened on June 30, has seen a total traffic volume of approximately 8.9 million vehicles in its first 100 days. During the National Day holiday from October 1 to 7, the link recorded over 1.06 million vehicle trips, with October 1 alone witnessing a peak of 155,000 vehicles, a new high since the opening.

The cross-sea mega transportation project has attracted a continuous influx of high-end cultural and tourism projects to Zhongshan. In August, the Zhongshan government signed strategic cooperation framework agreements with Virgo Capital Holdings LLC (US), Hong Kong Dragon Group, and China Cultural Tourism Investment Co Ltd, sealing three major tourism projects with a total expected investment of 21 billion yuan.

On the one-month anniversary of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link's opening, Zhongshan hosted a global investment conference that secured over 300 billion yuan in project investments. The signed projects encompass advanced manufacturing sectors, including high-end equipment manufacturing, next-generation information technology, biomedicine and health, new energy, new materials, and the low-altitude economy, as well as modern service industries such as cultural tourism, new retail, high-end dining, and hospitality.
