China-Maldives Friendship Bridge brings convenience for locals

Hulhumale is known locally as the "Youth City", which is at least three times larger than Male, and has restaurants, parks, a stadium and beachfront. The opening of the Sinamale Bridge has made the artificial island easily accessible to residents in Male.

Rehendhi Rabindan, a foreman at a restaurant in Hulhumale, said the bridge has made the restaurant more popular.

"Since the bridge was opened to traffic last year, the number of guests visiting the restaurant has increased significantly. On weekends, many people living in Male come here for dinner. The staff are constantly busy," he said with excitement.

"What's more, many guests who live in Male could order takeaways and pick up the food within 10 minutes," Rabindan added.
