- DanGothenburg, Sweden19 contributionsMy flight landed at terminal 1, Hong Kong airport. After immigration etc (took 10 minutes for me) turn right to the end of the hall, then turn left, follow the crowd, take the elevator down to level 3, now you are at the bus terminal. Turn right and you will see a sign B4. If you are not sure about the way, just ask some officials, I had no problem to get adequate answers about the way.
Have a 10 HKD bill with you for the B4 bus ticket, no exchange. After 15 minutes you are at the Hong Kong port, then immigration out of Hong Kong (took 3 minutes for me). Then you buy bus ticket to Macau, HKD 65, or 33 if you are 65+. They dont accept VISA card so bring cash, they will give you change if you have larger bills. Bus to Macau over the bridge took 45 minutes.
After Macau immigration (took 10 minutes for me), you go straight out to the bus terminal. I arrived after 7.30pm, so no free shuttle to the outer ferry terminal. But no problems. I did bord bus 102x, ticket price 6 HKD or MOP. I had a 5 hkd and a 2 hkd coin, paid with them, no exchange is given. This bus will stop outside Wynn casino, close to Starworld and close to many hotels in the central of Macau. You will not miss it, the speaker in the bus will tell you when the bus approach Wynn. I walked then to Holiday Inn Express, took 7 minutes.
So instead for paying ridic money for going direct from Hong Kong airport to Macau over the bridge, just pay about HKD 80 , 3 buses, and you are there. I also doubt it is faster. I saw many travellers with big bags, so not a problem.Written 19 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This bridge is named after Tsing Yi and Ma Wan islands and provides efficient connection between Lantau and all points Kowloon. Double decked with road vehicles on the upper and a train service on the lower. It has a span of 1,377m between the 206m high towers, making it the world's largest for carrying both vehicular and rail traffic.

- QuickWhitTravelWashington DC, DC3,778 contributionsThis is one of the world's longest cable bridges, so they say. 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, Singapore33,035 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.

- BradHong Kong, China174,810 contributionsOne of the interesting things to see at Shek O is the Blue Bridge (also referred to as Lover's Bridge). 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.

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.

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.
