Jinjiang Bridge, bridge in People's Republic of China
Jinjiang Bridge is a modern cable-stayed bridge spanning the Jin River in Fujian and connecting Quanzhou with Jinjiang district. The concrete structure is supported by heavy cables running from tall pylons to the deck, creating a distinctive profile that stands out against the city skyline.
Construction began in 2005 and finished in 2008, making this a relatively recent infrastructure project. It was built as part of China's national highway network to improve trade and daily movement between Quanzhou and Jinjiang.
The bridge accommodates cars, bicycles, and pedestrians, with clear views of the river from the deck. The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon when traffic is lighter and lighting conditions are more pleasant for taking in the surroundings.
The bridge is illuminated at night with colorful lights that highlight its cable-stayed design, making it a landmark of the city. This lighting transforms the river and skyline in the evening, with the lights reflecting across the water.
