About this audio guide
This guide to the Lantau Link Visitors Centre in Hong Kong is built around the Tsing Ma Bridge and the deadline that shaped it: the colonial government's Airport Core Programme, launched in the early 1990s to replace the congested Kai Tak Airport with a new one on Lantau Island. You'll hear about the British and Japanese engineering consortium that spent five years and billions of Hong Kong dollars stringing tens of thousands of steel cables into the bridge's twin suspension cables, and how its towers were shaped to withstand typhoons. From the viewing platform, look toward the two towers rising from the water as the guide traces how the race against the calendar played out.
