[Xinghewan Cross-Sea Bridge | A Long Letter to the Magnificent: Sea, Sky, and Light]
Long stretching across the vast coastal waters, the Xinghewan Cross-Sea Bridge resembles a steel ribbon, connecting the sea and the sky. The bridge towers and streamlines, their towers gleaming in the sunlight. The water gently laps beneath, the waves intertwine with the lines of the cables, and the wind whistles in the ears. Every step brings a visual and spiritual awe.
In the early morning, a thin mist shrouds the sea, the bridge's shadow reflected in the water. As the sun rises, its golden light casts a shimmering golden glow across the bridge and the sea. Walking slowly along the bridge, the sea breeze caresses my face, the scent of sea salt blends with the morning light, and the silhouettes of ships drift slowly by in the distance. The entire space is quiet and vast, as if time has slowed down here. The afternoon light is at its brightest, the towers and cables reflected on the sea. The blue sky, white clouds, sea, and bridge interplay with each other, and the interweaving of light and shadow creates a magnificent modern landscape painting.
At dusk, the setting sun paints the bridge and the sea a golden orange. A gentle breeze caresses the bridge towers, reflecting them in the water. The shadows of boats and lights intertwine across the water, creating a magnificent and graceful scene. Truly breathtaking is the moment the bridge is illuminated at night. The cables and towers gleam in the light, and the sea is dotted with specks of light, creating a majestic and romantic scene as if the entire bridge is in dialogue with the stars.
If time permits, linger along the bridge promenade or on the nearby observation decks to capture the play of light and admire the interweaving of sea, sky, and bridge. You'll understand then: the Galaxy Bay Cross-Sea Bridge is more than just a transportation facility; it's a poem composed of sea, sky, light, and steel. Every step brings you to the grandeur of modern architecture and the vastness of the sea.
