Tsing Ma Bridge Hike - Senior Couples

Tsing Ma Bridge at sunset


We wanted to get pictures of the Tsing Ma Bridge at sunset and also some night shots with the lights on. We invited any of the couples that wanted to go, and we had 14 people come along. We even had Elder and Sister Lloyd go with us.
Start of trail


We had no problem getting out to Tsing Ye or catching the bus, and getting to the right stop. We walked up the hill, and then up the steps. Some of the men went on ahead so they could get set up before sunset, and the rest of us just took our time. The temperature was absolutely perfect. We got to the top in plenty of time and sunset was beautiful, and then the bridge lights came on. A few strong souls went up to the top of a little knoll and got what we think are some great pictures.


Climbing to the top of the mountain

And then out came the flashlights and down we went. We stopped along the way to take some more photos, but we didn’t set up the tripod and none of us can hold still long enough to take good night shots. But just seeing the lights along the way was enough. It was absolutely beautiful, what a way to see Hong Kong!!!
Dinner was a Mos Burger at the mall and then we headed on home. I think everyone of us would do it again – in a heart beat!!!
