If you know the reason, please let me know in the comments We just crossed the underwater tunnel Two distinctive towers are coming up The Qingzhou Bridge, 1150 meters long The towers feature traditional Chinese knot designs, achieving a perfect combination of function and aesthetics The towers are also the highest points of the bridge, at a height of 163 meters The Chinese knot design weighs 780 tons; you can imagine the difficulty of lifting it Behind a great project are countless builders’ hard work and efforts If you want to view the bridge from a ship’s perspective, please check out my previous video There’s one last stretch of road ahead The Jianghai Bridge, 994 meters long The design of the three towers is inspired by the Chinese white dolphin You might think the towers don’t look like dolphins But at night, when the towers are illuminated, it’s a different scene From a distance, the three towers look like dolphins leaping out of the ocean, perfectly natural Leaving the Jianghai bridge, we’re approaching Macau A few small islands are appearing ahead There are houses on the islands. Do people live there?
