That year, I walked across Anping Bridge, thinking I could grow old with you

Watching the sunset on Anping Bridge is truly breathtaking. The afterglow of the setting sun reflects on the lake, brilliant and splendid, complemented by the simplicity and solidity of Anping Bridge. Honestly, watching the sunset 44 times in one day wouldn't be too much~ Anping Bridge, also known as the Five-Mile Bridge, was built during the Southern Song Dynasty. The construction took fourteen years, spanning the coastal Jinjiang Anhai and Nanan Shuitou in southern Fujian, all built with granite. It is the world's longest cross-sea beam stone bridge, the ancient stone bridge with the largest use of stone materials in the world, and also the only ancient stone bridge in the world that adopts three different types of piers on one long bridge due to different water conditions. A local uncle on the bridge talked about it, saying that the bridge was the main thoroughfare of Anhai Bay in the past, with endless streams of merchants and celebrities, and monks and merchants worked together to build this long bridge out of goodwill and virtue. Now, only a small section of the Five-Mile Bridge (Anhai section) is open, with an iron railing in the middle that has rusted, indicating that it has been closed for a long time, which is really a bit of a pity. At that time, taking advantage of the evening breeze, walking the entire length of this bridge in the afterglow, I felt a sense of how beautiful the rest of my life could be
