The Tsing Ma Bridge, which spans 1377m across the busy Ma Wan Channel, is the second longest bridge in the world after the Humber Bridge in Britain. However, it is the longest bridge that carries both motorway and railway.

It has two decks and carries both road and rail traffic, which also makes it the largest suspension bridge of this type. The upper deck carries a dual three-lane carriageway and there are two tracks of railway and a two-lane emergency roadway in the lower deck for maintenance and the diversion of traffic during high winds.

It was built start from 1992 and finished on 1997 which connect the whole Hong Kong city to the airport.

We spend 2 hours to climb a small mountain which has better look of this bridge. Luckly, we can spend the time to enjoy this magic hour.

Hi Kinson,
Pretty nice night shot of the 2nd longest 'suspension' bridge ;)
But perhaps you could fix those distortions/ tilt with some photoshop? Technical quality not too bad but sharpness could probably improved (need more stable tripod / high wind?) Otherwise a superb night scene. Nevertheless I like the colours of the sky, you took the picture at the right time. Good attmept.

congratulatıons.

Hi Kinson, very nice evening shot of the highway bridge to the Lantau Island. Interesting is the reflection below the bridge. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

Excellent night shot with great colours and light.
Vous pourriez peut être améliorer un peu la netteté (petite accentuation), redresser un peu et recadrer en coupant une partie importante du ciel et un peu à gauche?
Best regards
JJ

Hi Kinson,

Amazing colors. Excellent sharpness in spite of the beautiful long shutter. It looks a bit like the Golden Gate. Just looking at the place it was taken, I now remember cruising underneath that bridge in a crazy expensive boat tour from Kowloon. I don't recall the bridge being red. TFS, Gilbert

Fantastic view, nice composition. I love the colors of the sky,
Very well done !
