Qiansimen Bridge in Chongqing, China
City of Bridges
Stayed by cables and girders that are painted a vivid orange, Qiansimen Bridge is designed to match its somewhat longer counterpart a kilometre up the road – Dongshuimen Bridge. The pair are among the seemingly countless number of bridges that span the two rivers meeting here in the centre of Chongqing. The Qiansimen crosses the Jialing River, while the Dongshuimen stretches over the mighty Yangtze. Known together as the Twin River Bridges, they're just two of the roughly 14,000 bridges that criss-cross this massive municipality of 32 million.
