Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge

Landmark pedestrian bridge of the 2014 Youth Olympic Games (cable-stayed bridge with two curved towers), views over the Jiajiang channel + light show at Youth Olympic Park. This curved cable-stayed bridge spanning the Jiajiang channel is strung from two rounded towers like the strings of a harp — the signature architectural legacy the Youth Olympics left Nanjing, and the first pedestrian sightseeing bridge over the Yangtze. As evening lights come on, the bridge's light strips and the skyscrapers on both banks mirror on the water; the Youth International Culture & Arts Center and the lawns of Youth Olympic Park form an open viewing belt with a steady stream of night runners and photographers. The round-trip walk across the bridge takes about 20 minutes, making it the central node of the Hexi riverside route.

Getting there: Metro Line 10, Lüboyuan Station
