If you stand on the one side of the river, you cannot see the other side. Sailing on the river is like sailing on a sea. All you can see is endless water. In Nanjing, there is a bridge across the river and the bridge itself is also an architectural wonder. Yangtse River is so wide that building a bridge across it was almost a mission impossible, but it was done perfectly by the Chinese engineers in 1960s, who overcame a lot of obstacles to complete their mission. The Nanjing Yangtse River Bridge, which lasts more than 4.5 kilometers, is the first bridge across the Yangtse River. When I was driving on the bridge, I wondered if there was going to be an end. With the development the engineering technology and the advancement of science, now there are 89 bridges across the river. 89 bridges. The number alone tells you how long and how big this river is, and why it is a symbol of China.
