City of Bridges

Stayed by cables and girders painted a vivid orange, Qiansimen Bridge is designed to match its somewhat longer counterpart a mile up the road, Dongshuimen Bridge. The pair are among seemingly countless bridges that span the two rivers meeting here in the center 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 crisscross this massive municipality of 32 million.
