China is a country with a long history of bridge-building, and it is also a country with the world's top bridge-building technology.
For example, Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei, Luoyang Bridge in Fujian, Guangji Bridge in Guangdong, etc., among which Zhaozhou Bridge is a typical column, it is the world's earliest opening and closing bridge, after many wars and earthquakes, standing for more than 1,400 years without falling.
Some people say that this is the technology of the ancients is nothing, but now the level of bridge-building technology in the mainland is still at the top level in the world.
It is understood that there is a website abroad that specializes in collecting the world's highest bridges, and according to the above statistics, China occupies six of the world's top ten long bridges across the sea; China occupies seven of the top 10 cable-stayed bridges in the world; Of the top 10 suspension bridges in the world, China occupies six...... China's share is staggering.
And today I want to introduce to you the construction of the bridge that shocked the German engineers, bluntly saying that China is too terrible, and the drawings can be built if the drawings are "reversed", and this bridge has been used for 30 years.
This bridge is the Gold Rush Bridge, located in Taojin Village, Dongkou County, Hunan Province, and what is so peculiar about it is that the German engineer expressed it this way.
On top of that, the piers are not on the ground, but are hanging from the ground, and one can see the downward curved arches supporting the piers from a distance, as if they do not meet the force requirements. They all wonder if they took the wrong drawings when they built the bridge?

At first, people didn't dare to walk on this bridge, because it was different, and people wondered if it was strong, solid, and it looked like it would collapse at any time, but in fact, this is a bit too much, the gold rush bridge is very strong, and it has been open to traffic for more than 30 years, and there have been no accidents at all.
In fact, its design is known internationally as the "up-bearing suspension bridge", which is also the first "up-bearing suspension bridge" in the mainland, which is of great significance to the mainland.
The reason why the Golden Rush Bridge was designed this way was because of the local topography and environment, as well as the small budget, and in order to save materials, so this design was adopted. The advantages of this design of the bridge are not only that the appearance of the bridge is beautiful, but also that it is safe and sturdy, and the view of the bridge deck is also wider, which is convenient for people to pass.
However, you must not think that such a bridge was built by an engineer with a junior high school education in the mainland, although he began to work after graduating from junior high school, but he has a lot of foundation for this aspect of construction, and at the same time, after continuous study, he finally completed the bridge.
Of course, there are more than one bridge he built, and each of them has saved a lot of money and manpower for the country, and I have to admire the mainland for having such excellent engineers. What are your different thoughts on this?
