Haixin Bridge, Pedestrian bridge over the Pearl River, Guangzhou, China

Haixin Bridge is a through steel arch bridge with a shallow white arch tilted about 10° east and a curved deck crossing the Pearl River. Its main arch spans 198 metres, and the deck widens from 15 metres at midspan to nearly 20 metres. Thin vertical cables run from the arch to the deck, which carries separate east and west walkways.

Planning for a pedestrian bridge between Ersha Island and the Canton Tower area began in late 2019, when Guangzhou authorities sought design proposals. Construction started in April 2020, and the main arch was joined on 8 February 2021. The bridge opened on 25 June 2021 after a public naming contest that drew 30,667 nominations; the chosen name, Haixin Bridge, was announced with the nickname "Little Phoenix Eye."

The bridge's plan follows the flowing sleeve of Cantonese opera, its arch echoes a guqin, and the deck is landscaped with Lingnan flower-boat motifs. A public naming contest drew 30,667 entries; the chosen name Haixin was paired with the nickname "Little Phoenix Eye".

The path is wide enough for several people to walk side by side, and there are resting spots with views of the river. Wear comfortable shoes, as crossing takes time to walk and explore along the way.

Along the walkway stand planted zones that create different activity areas and rest spots throughout the crossing. These green spaces give each section of the walk a distinct character and rhythm.
