幾年前到香港，為了省錢，入住郊區荃灣的一間酒店(帝景酒店)，結果意外發現酒店就在一座宏偉的大橋－「汀九橋」邊。入住之後，我若是待在房間，就會盯著橋看，看車流，看橋的高聳，看廣闊的海景，實在是非常震撼。價格不”帝”，但景觀倒是很棒，如果你下次到香港，不圖方便，而且你熱愛大型工程建築的話，入住這間，保證你可以跟大橋共枕眠了。：）

A few years ago I went to Hong Kong for attending a conference and out of budget concerns I picked a hotel (Royal View Hotel) in a remote western region named Tsuen Wan. To my surprise, this hotel has a best view for observing the magnificent Ting Kau Bridge (see intro here). I did not know of this bridge before and the hotel was right beside the bridge or under it as the bridge surface is so high. My room has an excellent view of almost the whole bridge, so I stared at the bridge all the time if I was in the room. It is simply HUGE!

If you are a fan of all kinds of big constructions, stay in this hotel and you can sleep with the bridge. The hotel room rate is quite reasonable, currently $850 HKD, a little past $100 USD. The price isn’t royal but the view is. Cheaper than those in core Hong Kong. So I show you the photos of the different faces of Ting Kau Bridge and its nearby area and lastly some shots of the room.
