EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bobby Yip, visitors can be seen crossing a magnificent cable bridge over the Minjiang River in Dujiangyan, China. The bridge is part of the Anian cable bridge, which stretches an impressive 260 meters and is one of five major bridges from ancient times in China. Taken on July 31,2004, this image showcases the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of the Dujiangyan irrigation system. Built an astonishing 2,260 years ago, it remains as the only grand water project in the world from ancient times that does not rely on any dams. This remarkable system effectively controls and regulates the flow of water into the inner river while also evacuating excessive amounts. Situated just 50 kilometers north of Chengdu, capital city of Sichuan province in southwestern China, Dujiangyan continues to attract countless visitors who are fascinated by its engineering marvels and rich history. The cable bridge serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship throughout centuries. This photograph transports us back in time while simultaneously showcasing how ancient structures seamlessly blend with modern surroundings. With no rights clearances or permissions required for this image's use, we can appreciate Bobby Yip's talent for capturing moments that encapsulate both natural beauty and cultural heritage without commercial intentions.
