虎门大桥

虎门大桥

　　介 绍       与威远炮台遥相呼应的虎门大桥是由我国自行设计建造的第一座特大型悬索桥，被誉为“世界第一跨”，是东莞标志性的旅游景点。大桥全长15.76公里，主桥长4.6公里，桥面双向6车道，主跨888米，以跨度大且不用钢锁吊住的高难度造桥技术闻名。虎门大桥的建成通车，跨海连接了虎门、番禺两地，使东莞成为沟通穗、港以及珠江两岸和深圳、珠海两个特区的交通枢纽。

　　    众所周知，这里曾经是鸦片战争的古战场，清道光年间，林则徐带领虎门军民筑起了百丈铁链横锁大江，凭借一夫当关、万夫莫开的金锁铜关抵御来犯之敌。而今，硝烟不再，天青海阔，波澜不惊，天堑变了通途，泛舟珠江，只见大桥飞架，横空出世如长虹卧波；信步桥头，则气象万千，云樯帆影，尽收眼底。   交 通        位于虎门镇，在东莞市区可到汽车总站乘莞城——虎门威远炮台的专线巴士前往，在终点下即可。
