Jiubao Bridge, hailed as the most beautiful bridge for its butterfly-shaped arches over Qiantang River, is set to open at midnight of July 6 in China's eastern Hangzhou city.
Stretching nearly 2 km with six lanes, the bridge will cut travel time by thirty minutes from Xiaoshan district to Jiubao township in Jianggan district. It is the eighth bridge flying across Qiantang River, well-known for its breathtaking wonder - the Qiantang Tide.
