Yangshan

The Yangshan deep-water port (洋山深水港) is a new port in Hangzhou Bay south of Shanghai. Built to circumvent growth limitations for the Port of Shanghai as a result of shallow waters, it allows berths with depths of up to 15 metres to be built, capable of handling the largest container ships today. The port archives this by building on the offshore islands of Yangshan, which are amalgamated by land reclamation and connected to the mainland via the Donghai Bridge, the later of which was opened on 1 December 2005 as the longest bridge in the world at 32,5 km in length.
