The designer of this bridge tower, which symbolizes the land of abundance, is Professor Wu Chong from Tongji University. Linjiang Bridge is located at the intersection of Qingyi River and Yangtze River. It is designed as a single-tower cable-stayed bridge with a main tower of 73.5 meters high and fish-shaped. There is a six-story sightseeing platform where visitors can take the elevator to the top of the tower for sightseeing.
The original inspiration is that Wuhu is a land of plenty. Incorporating the local characteristics of Wuhu into this building, we designed this riverside tower, with steel beams as the backbone of fish, aluminum alloy panels and glass curtain walls as fish scales. This design is unique and full of Wuhu characteristics.
Linjiang Bridge has won the Anhui Huangshan Cup Quality Project Award and the 2009 National Municipal Jinbei Demonstration Project Award.
