Stepping into an installation that replicates the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge during its construction phase, visitors can experience the construction scene in full swing and also see nearly 1,000 pieces related to the bridge collection, such as the rivets used by the builders as well as various manuscripts and design drawings of the bridge.

"During the renovation of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, we specifically asked to bring back the bridge's replaced items like deck railings and magnolia lamps," said Cheng Liling, director of the bridge museum. "These are not only historical witnesses, but also cultural and spiritual heritage."
