Anshun (Dongmen) Bridge - Chengdu (Sichuan) - China

            Here is another night view taken in Chengdu. This is the beautiful Anshun (or Dongmen) Bridge crossing the Jin River. The bridge in itself is full of shops and restaurants. 

The area in general offers a quite touristy but still very nice nightlife. 

This bridge offers one of these typical view mixing modern and traditionnal achitecture. As many other "traditionnal" bulidings, this one is a rebuild of an ancient version (destroyed by a Flood in the 80'). 

This possibility to re-create ancient buildings was a real astonishing aspect of the chinese cultural heritage management (for us as european). The fact that a bridge, a temple or a wooden tower burns does not necessary imply that it has been destroyed, because it can be rebuilt exactly as it was. Sometimes, of course, there's something a little bit artificall in these re-creations. Especially when "ancient" things are created where there wasn't anything before. However, it's impressive to see how traditional technique of building can co-exist with modern ways. It's as if beeing "old" for a building was not a question of age but a question of architectural style.
