Alex In The City "China's Bridge Party Celebration" Episode 4
In Episode 4, called "Bridge Party Celebration", I share my experience visiting a new bridge opening in a rural area of Chongqing. The Chinese culture has no shortage of luck and good fortune symbols, so it's no wonder people attend a public invitation to walk on a new bridge before its opens to vehicles.

Chongqings new bridge across the Yangtze River has joined the bridge capital's landmark. On 24th January, the Baijusi Yangtze River Bridge is officially opened to traffic. Linking two districts of the city, with a total length of about 3.7 kilometers, it is a significant project crossing the river. The bridge has a total length of 1384 meters and a span of 660 meters, making it the world's largest span dual-layer steel truss cable-stayed bridge. The bridge's upper deck is 38 meters wide, an 8-lane urban expressway, and the lower deck is 19.2 meters wide, which will hold the track for Chongqing's Rail Transit Line 18.

According to the data, by the end of 2018, the number of bridges both completed and under construction in Chongqing is 14,000. There are over 2,000 urban bridges and 38 urban cross-river extra-large bridges among them.
What will 2022 bring us to China? Will walking the bridge bring me good luck in 2022? Let's find out what the cost of living is like in one of China's largest mega-cities, Chongqing.

Authors Note:
Chongqing-A new series of vlogging is coming to Chongqing. Let me introduce myself. My name is Alex, and I have recently moved to Chongqing, China. I was born in Canada, but I have always been interested in China. The population of Chongqing is similar to that of my country. Some people might think that a vlogger it's just a person talking about him or herself, and maybe that's how it was many years ago. Some vloggers create educational content, and others talk about their political views or experiences. I try to inspire and motivate people to change their perceptions about China.

So why do I do this?
With technology no longer an obstacle, I can get my message out to the world. People want an inside, non-biased look at real life in this competitive media landscape, and my vlogs deliver you that and more.
I will not only show you China, but I will show you my accomplishments and my struggles.
