Step into the glow of history! 🇨🇳 The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge – a 1968 engineering icon in Jiangsu Province – is lighting up social media feeds with its dazzling nighttime views. This isn’t just any bridge: it’s China’s first domestically designed modern crossing over the mighty Yangtze River, stretching like a steel-and-concrete dragon across Asia’s longest waterway.
Why This Bridge Slaps 💥
Built during a time of intense innovation, the bridge became a symbol of national pride. Imagine engineers sketching blueprints by lamplight, determined to prove local talent could conquer one of China’s biggest geographic challenges. Fast-forward to today, and it’s both a vital transport link and a retro-futuristic photo op 🌆.
Nighttime = Prime Time
