Budapest landmark Szechenyi Chain Bridge

[Budapest Szechenyi Chain Bridge] is also known as the Freedom Bridge. Built in 1849, it was the first bridge across the Danube in Budapest. In China, a country obsessed with infrastructure, we have seen countless super-engineered and extra-large bridges from ancient times to the present, whether built of stone, wood, steel, or suspended, spanning rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, and valleys. It is respectful but not surprising to see this chain bridge built 170 years ago. There is a huge lying lion statue guarding the bridge at the end of the bridge. This is similar to the Chinese custom of using stone lions to guard gates. The bridge deck with two-way single lane is very narrow. My companion was standing on the edge of the bridge and stretched his head out to take pictures, and was almost hit on the head by a car. A local girl struggled to climb up the steel bridge arm to take pictures. To be honest, with the rough steel beams and narrow trails, there was really nothing to take pictures of from the close view of the bridge. It would be better to walk further away and take panoramic photos of the bridge, take photos of the night view of the bridge from a cruise ship, or even take panoramic photos of the bridge and the Parliament Building from a distance. It is indeed a landmark of Budapest and it looks better. 🌟Highlights: It is impossible to take a full picture of the Chain Bridge from the bridge, and there is a lot of traffic, which is very dangerous. It is best to walk more than 500 meters and shoot from a distance to capture the entire picture. 🚉Transportation strategy: The Chain Bridge is right next to the Central Vegetable Market, so you can visit two attractions at once. 🌟Highlights: The Chain Bridge can be photographed from both sides of Buda or Pest, and the effect is similar. It would be better to take pictures from a distance if you take a cruise at night. If you stand on a high place and shoot from a distance from the Fisherman's Bastion, you can take a panoramic view of the two landmarks, the Chain Bridge and the Parliament Building, which is even more beautiful. 📌Intimate TIPS: Go up and down the Danube River, and it is better to take pictures of the Chain Bridge from a distance.
