Anshun Bridge

Covered bridge over the Jin River, best seen lit up in Chengdu's evening bar district.

Anshun Bridge crosses the Jin River near Chengdu's Jiuyanqiao nightlife area and has become one of the city's most photographed evening views. The current covered bridge is a modern reconstruction, but it refers to an older river crossing on a site long associated with trade and movement through the city.

Come after dark, when the roofline, river reflections, and surrounding restaurants do most of the work. It is a quick stop rather than a deep historic sight, but it fits naturally into an evening walk along the water before or after dinner.
