In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) painting Highlights at the Confluence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers housed at Wuhan Museum in Hubei province, mountains, rivers, towers, and sailing boats capture every scenic grace of the region — yet without a bridge.
Today, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge has transformed a natural barrier into a grand connection, creating Wuhan's iconic view of "one bridge between two hills". The ancient painting gains a modern sequel.
