 ◆ Exhibition displays China's bridges

The Jiujiang city government and Nanchang railroad department recently inaugurated an exhibition hall displaying the history of China's bridges.

The museum, located in a bridge tower of the Yangtze River in Jiangxi Province, exhibits 120 pictures and historical files, videos and eleven miniature models of some of China's most famous bridges.

China has a history of more than 4,000 years of bridge-building, which has given rise to numerous legends, folklore, dramatic performances, paintings and carvings, all of which "tell the stories" of China's bridges in their own ways. Some of these works of art are also on display in the hall.

The Yangtze River, China's longest waterway, currently has more than 40 giant bridges.
