Sydney harbour bridge
Since the completion of 1930, Sydney Bridge has been one of the landmark buildings in Sydney and a world-famous building. In the past, climbing the steel arch of Sydney Bridge was a bold move by college students. I wonder if they inspired me. Since 1998, the Sydney Bridge has been open to the public for climbing, and ordinary people have a chance to taste the taste of being an adventurer. What's it like to climb to the top of the bridge? Scared? Dangerous? Neither. In fact, the whole process of climbing the bridge is very safe, but "Climbing the Bridge to See Sydney" provides a guide to accompany you to the vault of the bridge, which is on the water 134 meters. Crazy altitude experience will definitely make you stop breathing for a while. But when we reached the top of the Sydney Bridge, the sense of accomplishment was beyond words.
Before boarding the bridge, you must pass the vital capacity test, alcohol test and metal detector, and you must sign the health certificate and contract form before climbing. Everyone will get a climbing suit before starting. In addition, if you climb at night, there will be a bridge climbing lamp. The whole bridge climbing journey lasted for 3 hours.
Visitors who successfully climb the top of the Sydney Bridge will get a commemorative photo and a certificate for successfully climbing the bridge. You can show it off to your friends.
Bridge life: The Sydney Bridge, known as the world's first single-span arch bridge, is a representative building of early Sydney. The conception and birth of this bridge has gone through 100 years. After more than 40 years of brewing, 1857, Sydney engineer Peter Henderson drew the first design drawing until 1932 was completed and opened to traffic.
Under the conditions of the 1930s, aerial bridges were rare. The 10,000-ton ship can pass under the bridge. The bridge deck is 49 meters wide and all kinds of cars can pass. There is a double-track railway in the middle, and sidewalks on both sides are 3 meters wide. Australians describe the shape of the Sydney Bridge as an "old-fashioned big clothes rack". Nowadays, the northern end of the Sydney Bridge bends into a big arc, which is connected with the expressway in the north, and the southern end extends to the urban area of Sydney. Whenever night falls, the steel frame of the bridge lights up with thousands of lights, which are colorful and dazzling from a distance.
Beautiful vision: Sydney Bridge is adjacent to Sydney Opera House. When the Opera House and the Bridge are connected as a whole, they are majestic and elegant, with alternating light and shade, and straight lines and curves form a beautiful picture with strong contrast and harmony.

Shiny Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
Whenever people enter San Francisco, the first thing they see is a giant suspension bridge across the bay, which is known as the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the important landmarks in San Francisco. Cars come and go on the bridge. When you walk on the bridge, you will obviously feel the shaking of the bridge. According to reports, the vibration amplitude of the bridge is about 1 m. Because the bridge is very high, the horizontal shaking is also great. When you walk on the bridge, you will clearly feel this. In bridge construction, the Golden Gate Bridge is a pioneering work. This bridge, which was built in 1930s, has only two columns, so it does not use piers to support the bridge body, but uses the huge tension generated by arc slings on both sides of the bridge to lift the heavy bridge body high. The designer of the Golden Gate Bridge is engineer Strauss, and people put his bronze statue beside the bridge to commemorate his contribution to the United States.
Origin of the Bridge: Since the official opening of 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge has been a symbol of the city soul for San Francisco, just as the Eiffel Tower is for Paris. The Golden Gate Bridge spans Chisinaue in the Pacific Ocean and is a transportation hub connecting San Francisco and Marin County. Don't take it for granted that the Golden Gate Bridge is golden. It's actually scarlet. This name was given to it by John fremont, an American writer and explorer in the19th century. Because when he first arrived in San Francisco and entered San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean, he saw the whole port shining in the sun, as bright as the "Golden Gate", so this bridge across the harbor was of course also called the "Golden Gate Bridge"!
Beautiful vision: The Golden Gate Bridge has a beautiful shape and is made of pure steel cables. The pier is 65 stories high, but its appearance is light and elegant, and it is not heavy at all. No matter what season it has a unique aesthetic feeling: when the sun shines, you can clearly see the whole bridge, like a curved cinnabar, hanging on the blue sea; When there is fog, the bridge looms in the fog.
Refracting history, bridge on the river kwai, Thailand
Guihe Bridge is one of the best war films in history. The classic anti-war film directed by David Lane made Guihe Bridge famous in World War II.
In Kan-chanaburi, northwest of Bangkok 122km, the bridge over the Guangxi River, a bridge across Guangxi, reflects a period of history during World War II: during the Japanese occupation of Thailand, allied prisoners of war were forced to build a railway connecting Myanmar and Siam. This railway was built after sacrificing countless precious lives, so it was called the "Death Railway". Bridge on the river kwai is one of them, known as the throat of the "Death Railway". On one side of the bridge, the terrain is relatively gentle, but as soon as you cross the river, there are steep peaks, and some sections are even dug on cliffs. At that time, many laborers became ghosts when building bridges on the Guihe River.
The story of the bridge: The bridge on the Guangxi River was originally a wooden bridge, which was destroyed after being bombed by planes several times. Only when the river is very shallow can you see the remnants. Now we see that the iron bridge built later is still open to traffic. After the renovation of bridge on the river kwai, there are two uncoordinated square iron frames on both sides of the original bridge, which are not as beautiful as the original arc iron frames, and many people who have seen them think it is neither fish nor fowl. Bridge on the river kwai is about 10 minute walk. Crossing the bridge is a dead railway. Go straight ahead and you will reach Myanmar. Standing at the bridge of bridge on the river kwai, watching the beautiful He Jiong River flowing quietly in the sunset, it is hard to imagine the tragic story that happened here. Only the unexploded bombs dropped by the U.S. military at the bridgehead remind us of the tragic war that year.
Good vision: Soon after crossing the bridge, a Chinese signboard tells everyone that if you walk down the iron stairs next to it, there will be many small commodity vendors in Myanmar. There is nothing cold in Guihe Bridge now, which is completely different from the wild world in the movie. There are many shops nearby, and there are many water restaurants on both sides of the river. The layout and landscape of these restaurants are beautiful, and the authentic Thai food is also charming. Or choose to go boating on the Guangxi River to watch this bridge full of historical stories, or eat "shrimp soldiers and crabs", drink slightly bitter Bangkok beer and look at the boatman's face as always. ...
