Ruyi Bridge

The Ruyi Bridge spans 100 meters across Shenxianju Valley, featuring three interconnected curved walkways with transparent glass floors at 140 meters above ground level.

Constructed between 2017 and 2020, the bridge represents a significant advancement in modern Chinese engineering, with over 200,000 visitors in its first two months.

The structure mirrors the shape of a ruyi, a traditional Chinese ceremonial scepter that symbolizes power and good fortune in Chinese heritage.

The double-deck bridge incorporates steel, glass, and titanium materials to ensure stability and safety while providing access to multiple sections of Shenxianju scenic area.

The bridge design by He Yunchang, who also engineered Beijing's Olympic Bird's Nest stadium, features three undulating paths that appear to float between mountain peaks.
