The Bayi Bridge is one of Nanchang's landmarks. Starting from Yangming Road in the east, it crosses the Gan River, connects to Lushan South Avenue in the west, and connects to the Changbei Open Development Zone and the Changjiu Expressway in the north. It serves as a vital thoroughfare connecting Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, and northern Jiangxi.
The Bayi Bridge, spanning over 3,000 meters, is the first cable-stayed bridge in Jiangxi Province and the longest in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Resembling a giant dragon lying across the Gan River, it has become a new tourist attraction in Nanchang. The stone sculptures of black and white cats at the bridgehead on the south bank hold profound meaning. The bronze lions on the north bank are majestic and imposing.
The vertical and horizontal design of the Bayi Bridge features vertical curves, resembling a rainbow lying on the waves, creating a beautiful curve. The south approach bridge is a three-story, fully accessible interchange, shaped like a trumpet, with four circles resembling fluttering butterflies. Within these circles stand pavilions and towers reflecting Jiangxi's history and culture: Xunyang Tower, Yugu Terrace, Peony Pavilion, and Longzhu Pavilion.
