Lucky Knot Bridge
Lucky knot bridge (or knot bridge or knot footbridge) spans the Dragon King Harbor River in Meixi Lake District, Changsha, China. The 185 m long and 24 m high pedestrian truss bridge, which is bright red in colour, was designed by NEXT architects based in Amsterdam and Beijing and completed in October 2016.[1][2] The bridge, which started out as a design for an international competition in 2013, was designed keeping tourist activities in mind. The design is inspired by a Mobius strip as well as Chinese knotting.[3]
