Composed of a suspension bridge in the south
and a Cable Bridge in the north, Runyang Bridge
is a rarity in the world. The main span of the
southern part reaches 1,490 meters, which makes
it the longest suspension bridge in Asia and the
third in the world till now.
Runyang Bridge links Zhenjiang on the south bank
of Yangtze River and Yangzhou on the north. The
bridge is part of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway
as well.
Runyang Bridge is not only a miracle in bridge
history, but also a grand landscape in Zhenjiang.
Under the center of the bridge, there is an island
called Shiyezhou. It is a green ecological island
best for tourism resort and pastime.
