Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge
南京眼步行桥
A cable-stayed double-ring pedestrian bridge across a side channel of the Yangtze, linking Hexi with Jiangxin Island. It is a popular spot for river and night views.
The Nanjing Eye Pedestrian Bridge was completed in 2014 for the Youth Olympic Games. It links the Youth Olympic axis in Jianye District with Jiangxin Island. The bridge is about 800 m long, and its two circular pylons look like a pair of eyes, which gave it its name. From the bridge, you can see the side channel of the Yangtze, the Youth Olympic Twin Towers and the Hexi skyline. It is busiest at sunset and during the evening light show. The nearby Youth Olympic Park and riverside promenade are good for walking and cycling. Entry is free all day, though there may be evening or time-limited restrictions. Take Metro Line 2 to Yuantong station or Line 10 to Jiangxinzhou station, then walk.
