Many people have heard about the Yangtze River, but not about the massive bridge over it. This bridge was built over 60 years ago and, its strength is unbelievable even today.
The Yangtze River
It’s a mighty river that’s 6,300 km long and one has to pass this river to reach any of the three areas of Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hankou in Wuhan.
The history of the bridge
The river was indeed an obstacle for transportation between the cities, and ships were the only possible option. However, after 1000 years of suffering from the unavailability of a bridge, finally, this massive bridge was constructed in 1957.
About the bridge
The bridge is more than 1600 m long and is divided into two levels, the upper one for busses and the lower one for trains. This bridge is very firm that even the massive Wenchuan Earthquake couldn’t harm it in 2008.
Other bridges over the same river
For those who holiday at venues of accommodation in Wuhan the likes of Citadines Zhuankou Wuhan, exploring this bridge is an adventure. And along with this, they can also explore the Baishazhou Bridge and the second Wuhan Yangtze Bridge that was built after the first one.
