Tower Bridge in London (London, England)

Tower Bridge is the most iconic bridge and symbol in London. 1894 is open to the outside world. People often confuse it with the humble London Bridge. It is said that the most famous misunderstanding is that an American gentleman bought the London Bridge and mistakenly thought that he bought the Tower Bridge and shipped it to Arizona to rebuild it hard. However, the seller later clarified the facts. The upper floor of this bridge, once frequented by prostitutes and thieves, has been closed for many years. It was not until 1982 that it was reopened to the public as part of the Tower Bridge exhibition in London. In 2008, the Tower Bridge in London was greatly renovated, and it was painted clean and tidy before the Olympic Games.

Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco, USA)

02

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most iconic bridge in the United States, connecting San Francisco Peninsula and Marin County, and is regarded as one of the wonders of the modern world. This bridge replaces the long-term ferry service, and passengers can drive across the Strait of Gibraltar. The bridge was designed to protect the match point, dating back to before the Civil War. The Golden Gate Bridge was considered worth preserving for future generations in 1933 (when construction began). The Golden Gate Bridge 1937 was opened to traffic, and the celebration lasted a whole week. Some citizens became very excited, so the police put down a small-scale riot. Sadly, this bridge is famous for suicide reports every two or three weeks.

03

Brooklyn Bridge (new york, USA)

Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn in new york. The process of bridge construction in the East Reach is a long and complicated project. Under the extremely dangerous working conditions at that time, many workers got sick of diving and were injured. Illness and death did not limit the workers and project leader John Roblin and his son Washington Roblin to endure the extreme pain caused by this work for a long time. Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world at that time, and this title remained for many years. Now this bridge is the most famous and popular characteristic symbol in new york, which can be seen in many TV programs and movies, especially those taking pictures around new york.

Vicio Bridge (Florence, Italy)

04

Vicio Bridge is located in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy, with a boutique. Jewelry shops, art and souvenir shops are all over the bridge. Vicio Bridge, built in 1345, is the site of an ancient Roman bridge, and its sandstone and timber can be traced back to 996. It is said that the definition of "bankruptcy" (and the word itself) comes from the bridge of Visio! Money changers will sell their goods through banks. If they can't pay their debts, the soldiers will destroy the bank, which means the bank will go bankrupt. Without the bank, they can't go on working. During World War II, the bridge was not destroyed by the Nazis. If you walk on the bridge, you will find many concentric locks on the railing. The idea comes from lovers who lock their hearts in one place and then throw the key into the water, which means to love each other until they are old. However, it is more realistic that this lock needs to be removed every year to avoid damaging the bridge.

Reato Bridge (Venice, Italy)

Located on the beautiful Grand Canal in Venice, the Reato Bridge can be immediately recognized in action adventure and romantic movies. This bridge was built in 1 18 1. Originally a floating bridge, it was transformed into a fixed wooden bridge in 1255, and was destroyed by war in 13 10. People soon found that the wooden bridge needed hard maintenance, even so, the damage degree was relatively fast: there was evidence that the bridge collapsed at 1444 and 1524. Finally, people decided to rebuild the bridge with stones. After three years of construction, it was completed on 159 1. At that time, the design of the bridge was very novel and unusual, so critics asserted that the architects would be destroyed by the bridge. Fortunately, their predictions did not come true, and the bridge soon became an iconic landscape and was loved by the audience.

Milo Bridge (Tarn Valley, France)

06

The road from Paris to Spain, especially the route near the town of Milo, is known to be full of difficulties. Especially in summer, hundreds of tourists and passers-by will be blocked on the road. Therefore, the idea of building a bridge over the Tarn Valley was soon discussed and finally decided. The authorities held a tender meeting, inviting architects and designers to provide feasible ideas and routes, and choose the best scheme from them. Although this decision has been strongly opposed by many political parties, many people who have experienced traffic jams under the bridge are full of praise for the bridge. Facts have also proved that building this bridge is a beneficial project. This bridge has won many awards, including the famous "Outstanding Structure Award" awarded by the International Bridge and Structural Engineering Association in 2006.

Charles Bridge (Prague, Czech Republic)

Charles Bridge was originally named Stone Bridge. 1357 at 5 am on July 9, King Charles IV laid the foundation stone for this bridge. The commencement date and specific commencement time were recorded in advance, because Charlie was obsessed with divination, and this time was determined as the auspicious time for the bridge to start. This bridge now carries a brief history of Prague and Czechoslovakia. It is like a unique statue at each historical node. In a recent renovation, people replaced the original statue with modern replicas and carefully moved it into the museum. If you are in Prague one day, you must visit Charles Bridge, stare at volta river and touch the memory of this historic bridge.

Sydney Bridge (Australia)

Since 1932 was completed and opened to traffic, the Sydney Bridge has become another "scenic spot" in Sydney, adjacent to the magnificent Opera House, bringing out the best in each other. It is the tallest steel arch bridge in the world. All means of transport except trams can use the Sydney Bridge. The bridge was originally paved with a double-track railway, but it was later demolished to make room for the driveway. 18 15 Some people put forward the idea that "trains, bicycles and even pedestrians can cross the bridge". However, it took nearly a hundred years to work out the first feasible plan. During the world economic crisis, the project provided many employment opportunities, thus saving many lives. Nowadays, visitors can climb to the top of the arch bridge and enjoy the unique beauty. It takes three and a half hours to climb from the east starting point to the west ending point of the bridge.
