Hello! Hong Kong Tours | Best 5 Heritage Bridges In Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a concrete jungle known for its buzzing nightlife, bustling business ventures, and easy and reliable transportation system. One of the reasons why it is easy to travel around the city is because of the convenient connecting bridges that have served as vital transportation links from the New Territories to the city.
With the beautiful architectural structures, crossing these bridges will give you a panoramic view of Hong Kong that you will surely admire. Your Hello! Hong Kong Tours team has listed the top 5 beautiful bridges in the city that are worth going out of your way to cross!
Tsing Ma Bridge
The bridge was named after the two islands it connects, namely Tsing Yi and Ma Wan. It is the world's 14th-longest span suspension bridge, and was the second-longest at the time of completion. Did you know that prior to the completion of the Tsing Ma Bridge, Lantau Island could only be accessed by water, and was completely rural? Now, thanks to this bridge you can now visit the Lantau island in a breeze!. Another exciting way to see the AWEmazing structure of the Tsing Ma bridge is when you take a sightseeing helicopter tour, You can experience and see the beauty of the Tsing Ma Bridge on our 30-Minute Lion RockPrivate Flight and catch the perfect sunset whilst onboard the airconditioned MD902 Explorer Twin-Engine Helicopter.
Ap Lei Chau Bridge
Also know as Aberdeen Bridge, this bridge connects the island of Ap Lei Chau (Aberdeen Island) to the community of Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island. It allows pedestrian access where you can have a ten-minute walk between Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau which see the view of the typhoon shelter. Aberdeen is also known for Sampan rides so feel like a local, and experience the traditional watercraft that Chinese fisherman families lived centuries ago when you book our private customised tour!

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
Last BUT definitely not the least on our list, is the famous Hong Kong-Zhuhai Macau bridge. It is the longest sea-crossing and the longest open-sea fixed link in the world. The 45-minute drive away is convenient and easy access to and from Macau, where traditionally can be accessed via Star Ferry which is an hour-long ferry ride. Since you are crossing two cities, it is still required to pass the immigration department of both, so don’t forget to bring your passport and other important documents for immigration requirements.
