Why is photography not allowed on the Nujiang Bridge? Where is the Nu River Bridge?

China is a country with many bridges. Thousands of years of culture have allowed China's bridge architecture to witness history and record culture. The bridge culture is profound and smooth, and each bridge has its own story. So today, the editor will introduce you to the story of this Nujiang Bridge!

Introduction to the scenery of Nujiang Bridge

In fact, Nujiang Bridge should be familiar to some friends who like to drive by themselves. This bridge on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway has beautiful surrounding scenery that makes people unable to help but stop and admire it.

The Nujiang Bridge is located on the Nujiang River, where the river is gurgling and the surrounding cliffs are very steep. The Sichuan-Tibet Highway passes through here, following a zigzag shape and passing through 72 turns. It is the route with the most turns in the entire Sichuan-Tibet Line.

We passed snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands and other scenery along the way, which was very beautiful. As we crossed the Nu River Bridge, we had a panoramic view of the magnificence and natural landscape of the Nu River Grand Canyon. Among several peaks, the Nu River pours down, which is very beautiful.

Why is photography not allowed on the Nujiang Bridge?

First, military reasons

The Nujiang Bridge has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the only bridge building on the Sichuan-Tibet Line that can pass large vehicles. This is a transportation fortress with important military significance. If some criminals conduct private exploration and exploration, it will cause certain losses to the country.

So you are not allowed to take pictures here, for fear that you will record things that should not be recorded here, and for fear that you will cause some damage here.

Second, terrain.

The Nu River is not very flat and steep. If the weather is bad, there will be natural disasters such as rockslides, so you can stay here, because staying here will cause traffic jams later.

Second, if something bad happened at that time, rescue would be very difficult. So the guards here usually urge everyone to hurry up and don't be disturbed by others, as others are also thinking about your safety.

Third, historical reasons

In fact, when it comes to the historical reasons here, it is still heartbreaking. In order to build this bridge, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent. Many soldiers made many sacrifices to conquer this difficult terrain.

One of the soldiers unfortunately fell into the bridge pier built here. People tried every means to save him, but still couldn't. In the end, the soldiers had no choice but to continue building the bridge with tears in their eyes. Therefore, building a bridge is not easy and is full of blood and tears!

How can you not cherish it? Moreover, the Nujiang Bridge has been preserved to this day and has a long history. It was also the work of these great soldiers that made it so strong. We are grateful to these soldiers, so we are not allowed to play and take pictures here. And there are people guarding it 24 hours a day.
