- Dan LBunbury, Australia9,017 contributionsAlways interested in architecture and structures during our travels. 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.

- Derrick AwSingapore, Singapore1,356 contributionsAn engineering marvel worth a visit once in a lifetime. You go above water, you go into a reclaimed island, you tunnel under the ocean. 55km which takes 45min. Make sure you get a window seat!Written December 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- QuickWhitTravelWashington DC, DC3,745 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 December 31, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China23,923 contributionsRepulse Bay's Chinese corner is full of distinctive architecture. This bridge is an interesting addition to the scene. An amusing story tells that crossing the bridge adds three years of life.Written October 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HKeaterSingapore, Singapore33,055 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 January 13, 2017This 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 January 2, 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 August 21, 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 August 21, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
