Many people come to Tianjin for tourism
The landmarks of the punch card are nothing more than that
Five Avenues, Yifeng District, Tianjin Eye, Jinwan Square
The far point is Panshan or Pear Wood Terrace
However, they often ignore the various bridges all over Tianjin
According to incomplete statistics
There are more than 30 bridges with different architectural styles along the Guanghai River
Not only is the momentum magnificent and the scenery beautiful
Each one is a microcosm of Tianjin's more than 600 years of dock culture
Bridge expert Mao Yisheng once said:
"Almost all the opening and closing bridges in the country are concentrated in Tianjin"
Bridge culture has long been unconscious
It has become a unique architectural business card of Tianjin
Not modestly
The bridge that Tianjin people crossed
More roads than many people have traveled
Which of the following ones you haven't had time to take a walk?

Originally, there were three kinds of lions on the Shizilin Bridge, one was two pairs of homomorphic white jade stone carvings at the head of the bridge, the other was the high relief on the stone stacks between the bridge railings, and the third was the cast iron lions on the railing columns between each stone stack. The three types add up to a total of 184 lions, almost every one of which is a walking meme!

In 1986, on the original abandoned bridge piers, skilled craftsmen built the sensational "Nezha Noisy Sea" and "Erlong Play Pearl" shapes, which was once a scene of Jinmen!
After the construction of the Lion Forest Bridge, the original four stone lions at the head of the bridge are retained, and at the same time, 1177 new ones have been added in different parts such as the bridge railing, the bridge body, and the piers, or screaming in the sky, or sitting with the head hanging down, or leaping forward, or closing the eyes to recuperate, and now it is a real "lion forest"!
Today, the Panlong and Nezha Noisy Sea on the Shizilin Bridge have been demolished for 15 years, and the bridge has long become a world for wild swimming enthusiasts, but the childhood memories left for Tianjin children will never be erased! Always alive and beating!

Look at these bridges now
Many people may see it as just a cold building
But I forgot
These bridges were once ancestors
The practical wisdom of "opening up roads in every mountain and building bridges in water"
Each one is full
Tianjin people have the fighting spirit and determination to overcome difficulties and overcome natural dangers
It is precisely because of their existence
Only let
Mountains and rivers are no longer blocked
Time is no longer long
Nostalgia is no longer far away
