The Tsing
Ma Gigantic Bridge stretching from Tsing Yi Isle to Ma Wan (Bay),
22,000 meters long, is the longest suspension bridge for both
vehicle and railway purposes in the world. It was open to traffic
in 1997, linking Landau Island and the urban districts.
Parking is prohibited on the Tsing Ma Gigantic
Bridge. The Tsing Yi Trunkroute Viewing Terrace to the northwest
of Tsing Yi Isle and the Visiting Guest Centre are places for
watching and familiarizing with the Tsing Ma Gigantic Bridge with
entertainment. The model, pictures and the structure of the Tsing
Yu trunkroute are on display in the Visiting guest Centre.
From the Scenery Viewing Terrace, one can see
the Ting Kau Bridge, Linking Tsing Yi and Tsuen Wun, totaling
1178 metres long, the longest triplex-towered shape cable bridge
of the world. Linking Tsing Yi and Lantau's transportation, another
bridge known as Kap Shui Man Bridge, 1670 meters long, is also
the longest hoisting cabled bridge providing for both vehicle
traffic and railway transportation. These three bridges have been
listed as the world's "Three Mosts". The expenditure
for the engineering construction of the three bridges is also
an astronomical figure.
