ABANDONED WATER PARK DRIVERS
In recent years the parking lot has been turned into a distribution center and has a few drivers lazily lounging in the cabs of their trucks. Getting into the Water ParkĪfter crossing over into Hanyang and descending from guishan （龟山）, the north entrance to the water park can be found on lianhua road (莲花路). Many locals have seen the water park a million times from their car windows driving to and from work, but few have actually taken the time to explore it. The curious sight of a rusted sign and a rainbow-colored sign can be seen peeking its way up above the treeline. Unknown to many tourists there is actually a hidden gem tucked along the base of the bridge. The view of the Yangtze River and the city of Wuhan can be breathtaking on a clear day. At the end of the bridge tourists usually just turn right back around towards the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang. Many tourists will simply walk from one end of the bridge to the other. Starting from Wuchang crossing over into Hanyang, the only thing in view is the Guishan Television Tower. The Wuhan skyline and Yellow Crane Tower are the focal points when looking from the bridge, but there are still many places to explore off the beaten track. The bridge itself was completed in 1957 and encompasses both Soviet and Chinese communist imagery into its architecture. This double-decker bridge with a four-lane road on the top level and a double track railway on the bottom has now become one of the main attractions for tourists visiting Wuhan. Known as the first bridge on the Yangtze River, this construction project was the first in the efforts of turning the three towns of Hanyang, Hankou, and Wuchang into what is now known as Wuhan.
