Lotus Bridge, Macau

Lotus Bridge, also called Lotus Flower Bridge, is a bridge that links the island of Taipa in Macau with Zhuhai in mainland China. The bridge is 1.78km long and 30 metres wide. It was built at a cost of RMB200 million, and completed in 1999. The bridge is just 10 minute from the Macau International Airport. The opening of the Lotus Bridge reduces the load on the Barrier Gate, which was previously the only border crossing between Macau and China.

Lotus Bridge has three lanes in each direction. The uniqueness of the bridge is that it has to facilitate the switching of traffic from left-side driving in Macau to right-side driving in China. It does this though an unusual arrangement that causes the ramps to loop over each other switching direction of the traffic in the process.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
