oliver999 March 25th, 2007, 02:59 PM chinese goverment hate huge skyscrapers, huge roads, and huge parks, and huge investment on anything for looking.
IDigFla85 March 26th, 2007, 08:55 PM what the hell? Well then if that is the case then they sure have not been doing a good job stopping it! Are you crazy? All it seems China has been for the last 10 years and future is building big things!!

Thanks. It's actually nice looking but for some reason I prefer Sydney's Steel Bridge as more beautiful. It's probably because it's located to a beautiful scenery or skyline. But I can't believe China is building such enormous bridges. I wonder if there are more under works right now?
yangkhm February 28th, 2010, 05:16 AM Yes, Sydney's Steel Bridge looks amazing and more beautiful. But China still has other amazing bridges in the world.
