Where did the Golden Gate Bridge come from?
Above the Golden Gate Strait in San Francisco, California, USA
On the day we arrived in San Francisco, we first drove to the downtown square and visited the city hall.
When I got off the bus and saw such good weather, I was still secretly glad that I caught up with the good weather today and could shoot the Golden Gate Bridge! After all, the Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark in San Francisco!
However, when we drove to an observation deck, we found that the whole San Francisco was clear and Wan Li, but the Golden Gate Strait was filled with dense fog!
It seems that the netizen's reminder is true: it is all luck to see the whole picture of the Golden Gate Bridge! Because in summer, the high temperature in the central valley of California drives the surrounding air pressure to rise, making the wind blow from the Pacific Ocean. Strong winds bring moisture from the ocean and often form the advection fog in the Golden Gate Strait at the junction of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. Located in the middle of the Golden Gate Strait, the Golden Gate Bridge is often surrounded by dense fog, and is often called the "fog-locked Golden Gate".
I thought the fog would clear up after a while, but the sea breeze blowing on the observation deck for a long time made the whole person tremble with cold and didn't see the fog clear.
So, we had to drive to another parking lot under the bridge.
I hope that after driving, God can give us guests from afar a little meager sensibilities! ! It's a pity that I didn't see it across Qianshan!
However, driving to the parking lot under the bridge, the weather has not improved at all!
It's very cold and stormy. Someone is windsurfing in the fjord. I admire you!
This bridge is more than 2700 meters long and about 27 meters wide. Two huge towers stand on the north and south sides of the bridge, with a height of 342 meters, of which the height above the water is 227 meters, which is equivalent to a 70-story building.
The span between the towers is 1 .280m, and the diameter of the steel cable connecting the top of the two towers is close to1m, which is formed by winding 2,700 steel wires and weighs more than 20,000 tons.
The steel cable at the other end of the bridge tower is anchored in the rocks on the shore, and the bridge is suspended in mid-air by the huge tension generated by the steel cable. Jinmen Bridge is one of the rare giant suspension bridges with single span in the world.
The construction of the Golden Gate Bridge took four years and cost 35.5 million yuan. Finally, in May 1937, the longest suspension bridge in the world was built and opened to traffic for the first time.
Although it is not the longest suspension bridge in the world now, it is still the most famous.
