The Lantau Link, formerly known as the Lantau Fixed Crossing, is a series of infrastructures linking Hong Kong International Airport to the urban areas.
The Lantau Link was officially opened on April 27, 1997, and it opened to traffic on May 22, 1997.
The Lantau Link carries a railway as well as roads. It comprises:
Lantau Island, together with Tuen Mun were among the first European trading settlements in the Pearl River area, established by Portuguese traders in the 1510s.
Lantau Island is often referred to as "the lungs of Hong Kong", because of its abundance of indigenous forest and relative scarcity of high-rise residential developments which characterise Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
Lantau's best-known and longest beach is Cheung Sha and its most famous hike is to Sunset Peak, the third highest elevation in Hong Kong.
It is part of the LantauLink, which, with three long span bridges links the New Territories and Chek Lap Kok, where the Hong Kong International Airport is located.
The LantauLink, of which the bridge is an integral part, was opened on April 27, 1997.
The model, pictures and the structure of the LantauLink and Ting Kau Bridge are on display at the Centre.
