The Shiziguan Floating Bridge — known as the “Long Bridge of Dreams” — is a unique wooden bridge in Hubei, China, that appears to float on the Qingjiang River. It’s known for its gentle sway as it responds to the river’s movements, offering visitors a unique experience of walking or driving on water. The bridge is about 1,600 feet long and 15 feet wide, and is surrounded by lush green forests and turquoise water. Unlike traditional bridges, the Shiziguan Floating Bridge is built on water-filled floats, providing stability and buoyancy. Due to its unique design, the bridge has speed and traffic restrictions to prevent excessive waves and ensure safety. It’s designed to minimize disruption to the natural surroundings and blends seamlessly with the environment. Aside from its beauty, the bridge has brought much-needed tourism to the remote region, attracting visitors from around the world.
