With an arch span of 550m it has been the longest steel arch bridge of the world - until recently...

Don't forget Chaotianmen Bridge in ChongQing which has been "topped out" (ie. the arch has been connected) - it is longer than the Lupu Bridge!

Gorgeous bridge, sometime when I am bored, I take bus 986 over the bridge and back.

Compared with daylight view. The night view is better.
