Tsing Ma Bridge

Whenever I am on the Tuen Mun Highway, there is a scenic part I like very much. As the highway is built along the ocean, it is beautiful enough already; and the fact that since 1997 the Tsing Ma bridge has finally opened for public use, the view is even more spectacular. Normally I would only drive through it but last year I was at the Standard Chartered Marathon (and one more thing to add on my can’t-do-list), I finally got to run, or maybe walk is more accurate, on it. It is said to be the 9^th longest span suspension bridge in the world that links Tsing Yi and Ma Wan together.
Thanks to this bridge, it is definitely an advantage for people who live in Tuen Mun to go to Hong Kong Island and the airport much faster. It was a nightmare back then without this and took ages to get there… I strongly recommend tourists not to take the airport railway (yes it is much faster but you are missing out), the bus route goes on this bridge where you can have unobstructed view of the ocean on the west side and skyscrapers on the east side; and during the evening, there are colour-​changing lights that are bound to blow your mind.
There are also visitor centres located on the Tsing Yi side that lists out the construction and the history of Tsing Ma bridge, however as I am not an architecture fanatic I guess I will pass. Anyways, it is really hard to take pictures here as it does not open to public unless it is marathon season. I suggest to do so when you are on the bus; if you are lucky, you might just get a nice shot of it.
Now I still recall the night when it first opened for public, it had firework on both sides of the bridge. So memorable. That’s the sight I will never forget.
