Qiansimen Bridge opened 2015 as a 720m cable-stayed bridge connecting Yuzhong peninsula's Hongya Cave area to Jiangbei. Two decks: the upper carries Metro Line 6 + vehicles, the lower has pedestrian walkway. For visitors, the lower deck is THE viewing platform for Hongya Cave's night lighting — the standing-on-the-bridge-with-Hongya-glowing-across-the-river photo every Chongqing visitor posts. Free pedestrian access. Best 7:30-9:00 PM right when Hongya's lights turn on. Walk from Hongya Cave's 11th-floor terrace to the bridge takes 5 min. Don't confuse with Dongshuimen Bridge (similar design 1 km south).
