Sichuan China's Bridges: Qixia Park Pedestrian Bridge in Chengdu (1)

July 2008 (30.654 Degrees, 104.051 Degrees) Qixia Park Pedestrian Bridge
Another deck arch bridge across the Jin River. The river is about 160 ft wide which makes it just right for single span arch bridges. The arch shape appears to be a segment of a very large radius circle. It is a wide pedestrian bridge with an ornate barrier rail. The arch and railing have been wrapped in wire and tiny lights. During the day the river presents a calm appearance but it must have a festive aspect at night. Chengdu is a very green and pretty city.
