At night, the lights are brightly lit and dazzling, like a giant dragon flying in the sky.

83 years ago today, on May 27, 1937, the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge was completed and officially opened to traffic the next day.

The Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol of San Francisco , located over the Golden Gate Strait in San Francisco's Outer Harbor. The bridge is brightly colored and majestic. The bridge body is red and lies on the blue sea white waves .

The Golden Gate Bridge, also known as the "Golden Gate Bridge", is a cross-sea passage connecting San Francisco and California in the United States. It starts from California in the north, crosses the Golden Gate Strait, and reaches the San Francisco Peninsula in the south; the total length of the line is 2,780 meters, and the total length of the main bridge is 1,967.3 meters.

The Golden Gate Bridge can be called a miracle of modern bridge engineering. It is an outstanding representative of suspension bridges and a benchmark building. The construction of many large suspension bridges refers to or draws on the experience of the Golden Gate Bridge. As the chief engineer of the bridge, Joseph Strauss was called the "Father of the Golden Gate Bridge."

There is a 342.6-meter-high steel tower on each side of the bridge. Two steel cables with a diameter of 0.93 meters each extend from the steel tower. The two steel cables support the bridge suspended in the air.

The span of the bridge between the steel towers is 1,280 meters. If the parts of the bridge extending from both ends of the steel towers are included, the total length of the bridge is 1,981.2 meters. Such a long span is very rare in the history of world bridge construction.

The bridge deck is 27.4 meters wide, with two spacious sidewalks and 6 lanes. The bridge opening is 61 meters high, allowing even the largest ships in the world to pass underneath it effortlessly.

In addition, there are two auxiliary steel towers on both sides of the two main steel towers, which not only play an auxiliary role in supporting the bridge, but also avoid the monotony of the bridge body, making the bridge shape more harmonious and spectacular.

The entire Golden Gate Bridge is like a giant dragon in the sky, lying on the white waves and blue sea, adding a majestic momentum to the city of San Francisco. Today, the bridge has become one of the landmark buildings of San Francisco.

This bright orange masterpiece is definitely one of people’s favorite scenery on the West Coast of the United States . Whenever you drive on the bridge, you can see happy couples hugging each other and taking photos.
