Woman’s Bridge

　　The Woman’s Bridge was built in 2001 and designed by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The bridge is 160 meters long, 6.2 meters wide, and weighs approximately 800 tons. It is an ingeniously designed, exquisitely shaped, uniquely styled, and culturally rich bridge.

　　The reason it is named the Woman’s Bridge is due to its graceful form. From a distance, the slender white bridge resembles a graceful lady in a white dress. Additionally, its structure consists of two simple lines—one stretching across the river and the other extending diagonally from the center, resembling a bird's outstretched wings or a dancer’s arms in motion. Together with the central pier, these two lines resemble the high-heeled shoes of a woman dancing the tango.

　　It is said that the Woman’s Bridge is a moveable bridge. When a ferry needs to pass, the bridge can rotate 90 degrees around the heel of the "high heel" (the central pier), opening up the middle section to allow boats to pass through smoothly. Witnessing this spectacular movement is truly an awe-inspiring sight.
