A Bridge too Far

Morning came bright and early. We decided to walk to the train bridge. Since the weather was good, there were a lot of people out. We walked to a railroad bridge that crosses the Songhua River. When you get to the top of the stairs, you find that it is a narrow metal walkway. I don't know the length, but it seems to be about a mile. It would have been nice to be the only ones on the bridge, but it seems to have heavy foot and bike traffic in the morning. When a bike comes your way, you have to hug the side, so they can get by. The bridge leads to Sun Island. The section we were at was at the far end. A lot of people were fishing. We even saw some people rowing a dragon boar a a person swimming. I don't think I'd want to swim in it. We had hoped to go on the other side to go back, but there was a fence. As we looked around, we saw some guys going over and saw an opening in the fence. We crossed. One person made some comments. It was in Mandarin. While on the bridge, we saw about three trains on the upper bridge. I think I forgot to mention that there are two bridges together. One is an old style bridge and the other s more modern bridge. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
