Step into history with the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge – a self-designed marvel that redefined modern engineering! Completed in 1968 in Jiangsu Province, this double-decker giant was China’s first domestically crafted bridge to handle both trains and cars, like a superhero juggling two missions at once.
Imagine the buzz back then: a 6,772-meter-long titan stretching across Asia’s longest river, built entirely by Chinese hands during a transformative era. It’s not just steel and concrete – it’s a symbol of innovation that inspired bridge designs worldwide!
Today, it’s still a must-see landmark, blending retro charm with timeless functionality. Think of it as China’s answer to the Golden Gate Bridge, but with a revolutionary twist.
