Travelling by road across the Tsing Ma Bridge, the world’s longest road and rail suspension bridge, wide views open across surrounding waterways and outlying islands. The experience continues aboard the Ngong Ping Cable Car, a 22-minute journey that reveals changing perspectives over the airport, the South China Sea, forested slopes, and traditional fishing villages below.
