Hey travel fam! 🌏 Next stop China takes us to Fuzhou – the cool capital city on the Minjiang River. But the real star? Jiefang Bridge! 🌉
Dubbed 'Longevity Bridge' back in the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127), this spot has been connecting Cangshan and Taijiang for centuries. Originally built in 1093 as a stone arch, it’s seen floods, repairs, and a total glow-up in the 1990s as a sleek reinforced concrete structure (that’s basically stone vibes with a super-strong cement-and-steel mix 💪).
By day, it’s a buzzing route for locals; by night, the lights paint the Minjiang into a shimmering canvas. Think of those epic river selfies or that Insta-worthy time-lapse of neon reflections scrolling like digital art! 📸✨
Movie buffs, you’ve probably spotted its silhouette in Lost and Love (2015) with Andy Lau – yep, that emotional chase scene across the bridge? That’s this beauty. 🎬❤️
Whether you’re on a @wechat voice chat planning your next weekend trip or scrolling TikTok for hidden gems, add Jiefang Bridge to your bucket list. It’s where history and modern vibes collide in the best way! 🚀
Next time you find yourself in Fuzhou, don’t just snap the selfie—feel the story beneath your feet. That’s the magic of a bridge that’s been tying communities together for over 900 years! 🌟
