Xia Yuxiang said: "Our infrastructure in China is really amazing, I still have a certain understanding of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and I have been there many times. ”

"Head Xia, can you introduce it to everyone!"

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is composed of three navigable bridges, an undersea tunnel, four artificial islands and connecting bridges and tunnels, a non-navigable hole continuous beam bridge in deep and shallow water areas and a land liaison line between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao.

The bottom tunnel is located between Lantau Island and Qingzhou Channel Bridge in Hong Kong, connecting other bridge sections through the east and west artificial islands, the non-navigable continuous beam bridge in the deep and shallow water area is located in the waters near Hong Kong and Zhuhai respectively, and the three ports and their artificial islands are located near the approach bridges at both ends, connecting to the surrounding main highways through connecting lines.

Qu Lihua asked: "Head Xia, how long has it been in preparation and construction for this bridge?"

"At the end of 2018, after 6 years of preparation and 9 years of construction, the 55-kilometer-long Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. ”

"Its completion not only marks China's transformation from a bridge country to a bridge power, but also means that the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has officially entered the fast lane, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has also created many world firsts in the history of bridge construction. ”

"With a total length of 55 kilometers, it is the world's longest sea-crossing bridge, and the submarine immersed tunnel is 6.7 kilometers long, which is the world's longest submarine immersed tunnel, and the deepest submarine tunnel is 48 meters, which is the world's deepest immersed tunnel. ”

Meng Wenjie gave a thumbs up, "Head Xia is right, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is a national project, the country's important weapon, this is the world's longest overall span, the longest steel structure bridge, the longest submarine immersed tunnel bridge, but also the world's most complex technology in the history of highway construction, the most difficult construction, the largest scale of the project bridge, the builders have overcome many world-class problems, integrated the world's most advanced management technology and experience, quality and quantity to complete the task." ”

Professor Abner is also very impressed, "Your China is indeed very remarkable, changing with each passing day, the changes are really great, I have been to China for many years, I went again last year, and found that China's urbanization process is accelerating, many places used to be flat, now are thousands of high-rise buildings from the ground, high-rise buildings, modern buildings, especially the first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, are very prosperous, many second-tier and third-tier cities have also accelerated urban construction, the streets are full of shopping malls, The restaurants are one after another, there are many people, the business is also thriving, many people can afford cars, some low-cost and mid-range cars have entered thousands of households, and the people's lives are indeed much richer than before. ”

"Families without cars, young people can also take the subway, I have taken the subway in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, the carriage is very clean, there are a lot of people, the speed is also very fast, everyone queues up for security checks to enter the station, obey the order, I am a foreigner, ask for directions, young people in China can understand English, they can show me the way in English. ”

"I have a very good impression of China, I think Chinese young people are very friendly to me, I also like Chinese food, Chinese food has a lot of variety, rich variety, Chinese chefs are very popular in our France, and it is easy to find a job, they come to France to open a lot of Chinese restaurants, we French people are tired of eating French food, and we also like to change our taste and taste Chinese food. ”

"Hahaha....." everyone laughed.

"We have visited the Seine, I'll take you to Montmartre, it's getting late today, we'll go back to the hotel, and we'll leave for Montmartre early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay!" everyone returned the same way, returned to the hotel, ate and rested, and the next morning, head Xia Yuxiang continued to take everyone to follow Professor Abner to visit Paris.

The Montmartre plateau in the north of Paris is really high compared to the other arrondissements of Paris, and the Montmartre plateau has only been part of the city of Paris for a short period of more than 100 years, which can be said to be the youngest arrondissement of Paris.

With its scenic winding paths, the tall and sacred Sacré-Coeur church, the Place du la Cuckus where painters gathered, the Moulin Rouge singing at night, and the Paris Wall of Love, it is a place of harmony between religion, art, fragrance and love.

Qu Lihua followed the team, listened to Professor Abner's introduction, and was in a good mood, for her, France was romantic and mysterious, she had never been to France before, this was her first time in France, the romance of France attracted her, and she also wanted to know about this country.

Famous tourist attractions in the highlands are the Sacré-Coeur Church, St. Pierre's Church, Place du Cuckold, Pigall Square, Moulin Rouge, Rabbit Bar, Raccoon Boat and Wall of Love.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart is white in color and has a peculiar style, both Romanesque and Byzantine, and takes the expressive techniques of Romanesque architecture. Its large white dome has a chic style that combines Romanesque and Byzantine style, which is quite oriental.

There are many reliefs, frescoes and mosaics in the church, and above the altar is a huge ceiling fresco, in which the tall Jesus stands in the center with his arms outstretched, with a halo behind him, a dove of peace flying with wings spread above his head, and above him is a reflection of the Father, with only his head and shoulders exposed, wearing a three-tiered crown, his right hand is sealed, his three fingers are straight, and his ring and little fingers are bent.

Two rows of angels stand obliquely above Jesus' arms, the Lady of God on the right, the flag-bearer on the left, the kneeling bishops and guardians at their feet, and behind them stand various figures praying to God.

The Saint-Pierre Church is one of two churches on the heights of Montmartre in Paris, France, but is not as well known as the nearby Sacré-Coeur Basilica. But in history it enjoyed a higher prestige, because according to Ignatius?? According to Loyola's earliest biography, this church is the place where he made his vow to found the Society of Jesus.

For French churches, Professor Abner has taken you to visit Notre Dame Cathedral before, so Qu Lihua has some understanding of French churches, and feels that although French churches have been built at different times, they are all built in a specific historical background, and have experienced a lot of wind and rain and historical vicissitudes, from construction to the destruction of the French Revolution, to reconstruction, and now it has become a famous scenic spot in France.

After knowing these histories and the vicissitudes of time, it is still quite embarrassing, a historical building can be preserved, it is indeed not easy, although the appearance is dilapidated, but they represent history, represent the social environment and religion and culture at that time, and many factors together shape these historical buildings.
