- BradJillHong Kong, China158,732 contributionsThe Tsing Ma Bridge is the world's longest suspension bridge that includes both road and rail traffic. The main span is 1.47 km in length while its height is 206 metres. It connects Tsing Yi and Ma Wan islands as part of a greater expanse of bridges and road that links Lantau Island to the rest of Hong Kong. The name Tsing Ma comes from the two small islands mentioned above.
The Tsing Ma Bridge opened to the public in 1997 and was considered an engineering marvel in its day. It is an impressive looking structure as you approach and take the bridge, it may look even better at night when the bridge is lit up with lights.
Your best chance to encounter and experience the Tsing Ma Bridge is by way of public bus or taxi transportation between the city and Hong Kong International Airport or Disneyland which are both on Lantau Island.
If you have particular interest in viewpoints where you can see the bridge, you may want to consider visiting the Lantau Link Viewing Platform on Tsing Yi Island. From this elevated platform area, the bridge can be viewed very well when sky conditions are favourable. There is also a Visitor Centre with displays related to the bridge as well.Written 12 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From HK most A buses will stop at HZMB port near the airport.
Simply walk in buy your shuttle ticket at the self service machines. Currently $60 HKD.
Buses run frequently so you will be on your way quickly.
The trip only takes around 40mins.
We travelled over the national day and it was quite efficient.
At Macau there are buses that will take you to most places. Public buses are only 6 MOP per ride.Written 4 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is an architectural marvel as far as I can tell. Someone told us this has been needed for a long time, so when it opened, people celebrated. Fun history!Written 31 December 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HKeaterSingapore, Singapore31,466 contributionsA good way to get to and from Ap Lei Chau. Even the subway uses it.
Very handy for everyone. And with the subway, a lot more people will be using it.Written 13 January 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This bridge is an interesting addition to the scene. An amusing story tells that crossing the bridge adds three years of life.Written 9 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China158,732 contributionsThere are two pedestrian bridges you will likely encounter in Tai O, this one being situated at the mouth of the river near the southwest end of the village and cluster of stilt houses. It was built in 1996 as a way to link Tai O Wing On Street (south) and Kat Hing Street (north) and to provide more convenient river crossings. Prior to the bridge being constructed, crossing was done by rope pulley ferry run by woman from the village.
The Tai Chung Bridge is very short, just 8-10 metres in length and notable for its blue colour. Its simpler counterpart, the Sun Ki Bridge (1979), is situated 5-6 minutes walk towards the northeast along Kat Hing Street. This cousin bridge is also interesting and worth finding. From both bridges, there are nice views of the the stilt houses lining the riverbank and mud flats.Written 21 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bridge is located at the end of Headland Road, connecting Shek O to Tai Tau Chau when the tide is high. Otherwise, during low tide, there is natural tombolo which you can use to cross the rocky shoreline instead.
The original Blue Bridge was constructed during the 1960s and had long been known as a romantic spot for dates, even being coloured light powder blue to create a romantic atmosphere. Unfortunately, the bridge was completely destroyed during Typhoon Mangkhut which struck Hong Kong in 2018.
As of early 2021, the local government had finished rebuilding the Blue Bridge. Instead of using more modern methods and attractive designs, the new bridge was rebuilt to resemble the old bridge as close as possible due to overwhelming preference by local residents. As such, the narrow, blue-coloured concrete replacement bridge you see today is more or less what the original looked like in the past.Written 2 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a small information board providing glimpse of the history of the bridge.
It was built in 1979 and paid for by the local residents to create a more convenient way to cross the the river and flats here. Before the bridges construction, generations of villages had to punt their way across. What you find is a simple wooden bridge construction with fence guards on both sides. It is only around 25 metres long.
Interestingly, from the middle of the bridge, you will see some of the best views of the stilt houses of Tai O, lining the riverbank and flats. It is a good spot from which to take photographs.Written 21 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
