One of Hong Kong's most important venues for trade fairs, exhibitions and international conventions. The HKCEC's harbour-facing glass curtain wall is the largest in the world. The extension to the building, with its distinctive winged roof, sits on a man-made island in Victoria Harbour. This was the site of the handover of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty in 1997.

How to get there:

1. Take MTR to Wan Chai station (Exit A1) walk 10 mins via the elevated walkway to Habour Road.
2. The HKCEC Airport Express Passengers can now enjoy a free airport express shuttle bus from HKCEC to the Hong Kong Station. The bus stop is located at the HKCEC's Harbour Road Entrance.

The magnificent Tsing Ma Bridge is the world's longest road-and-rail suspension bridge at 2.2 kilometres. It was just one of 10 Airport Core Programme (ACP) infrastructure projects. And with its main span of 1,300 metres, it surpasses even that of San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Bridge and is a mesmerising sight when lit at night. The Lantau Link Viewing Platform is a vantage point to view the Lantau Link, Tsing Ma Bridge, Kap Shui Mum Bridge and Ting Kau Bridge.
