Xinghai Bay Bridge, Dalian

As dusk falls, Xinghai Bay Bridge in Dalian, Liaoning, lights up like a golden dragon reposing upon the Yellow Sea. Strings of warm lights form a flowing galaxy across the gentle waves. In this city that thrives by the sea, the distant skyline and the bridge's glow mirror each other — folding the romance of the landscape and the metropolis into the soft, twilight wind.
