Twin Towers - Nanjing Eye | Nanjing's new must-visit internet celebrity attraction

Another landmark attraction in Nanjing has become popular, namely the twin towers and Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge located near the Hexi Youth Olympic Park. Nanjing Youth Olympic Park is a large sports park built to host the 2nd Youth Olympic Games in 2014. It is now used to host large-scale sporting events and some international activities. The Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge connects the south bank of the Yangtze River and Jiangxinzhou Sports Park, linking the entire Youth Olympic Park together. [Happy] The Beijing Youth Olympic Twin Towers, also known as the Nanjing International Youth Cultural Center, are an important architectural legacy of the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games. The total construction area of ​​the building reaches approximately 490,000 square meters, and the heights of the two towers are 249.5 meters and 314.5 meters respectively. The North Tower is an office building with river views, while the South Tower is home to the hotel and luxury apartments. The building was designed by the internationally renowned architect Zaha Hadid. It was inspired by sailboats and symbolizes the spirit of young people setting sail and riding the waves. The design of the entire building is like a piece of sculpture art, which will have different visual effects when viewed from different angles. The twin towers have a streamlined shape and look like a spaceship when viewed from the sky. [Kiss] Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge is a bridge that combines dynamism and elegance. Most of the ancient bridges in the south of China are stone arch bridges. The Nanjing Bridge has a slight arch in the middle, which fits the classical Chinese poetic feeling of small bridges, flowing water and people's homes. The entire bridge has a simple and elegant appearance, with two white rings that are both opposite and separated, creating a strong sense of dynamism. The bridge is like ripples, gradually narrowing and then widening. Pedestrians walking across it are like notes jumping and flowing on the strings of a musical instrument. The two white rings support the entire weight of the bridge, the elliptical bridge towers imply perfection, and the steel skeleton shows a sense of modernity. [TeaDrinker] [Transportation Information] How to get to Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge: Public transportation: You can take Metro Line 2 to Yuantong Station Exit 4, then transfer to Bus No. 102 and get off at Youth Culture Center East Station to reach the Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge. Take Metro Line 10 to Yuantong Station, walk about 2 kilometers after exiting the station and then take Bus No. 102‌4. ‌Self-driving‌: It is recommended to navigate to "Poly Grand Theater" when driving, because navigating directly to "Nanjing Eye" may lead to navigating to "Jiangxinzhou" and require a detour. 🚗
