About this place

The massive concrete piers of Shimen Bridge plunging directly into the muddy banks of the Jialing River — a raw industrial scale that most people drive over without ever looking under.

Drifter says

"Take Metro Ring Line to Yudaishan Station, then walk downhill about 15 to 20 minutes to the riverbank. Besides the bridge piers, you'll find old river ferry relics and local grandpas fishing at the water's edge. Hard rule: dry season only, October to April. Summer flood season the banks submerge completely and the current is extremely dangerous. Do not approach the water between June and August."
