Notes:

  • This bridge "goes viral" every few years based on some (apparently spurious) claim that it was built to resemble London's Tower Bridge. Maybe some aspects of its design were mildly inspired by London's Tower Bridge, but there is universal agreement that the Huayang bridge does not resemble the Tower Bridge.
