On the other hand it refers to a Chinese knot that comes from an ancient decorative Chinese folk art.

With a total length of 185 meter and 22 meters heigth, the bridge connects a diversity of routings on different heights.

The iconic appearance contributes to the developing identity of the area and with its lighting contributes to the whole light routing along the river. It provides both a view on the Dragon King Harbor River as well as Meixi Lake, Changsha and it surrounding mountains.

The bridge is more than just a connection. It is the key project for the development of the public space of the river park in the Meixi Lake District besides Changsha capital of Hunan province in China. It will be the icon on the recreational and touristic light street along the Dragon King Harbor River. Construction is scheduled for next year.
