The Silk Bridge is located on the south bank of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou's Binjiang District. It is a part of the 12-kilometer waterfront public space renovation project in Binjiang District of Hangzhou, undertaken by the Original Design Studio of TJAD. Due to the Xiaoshan Shiplock, pedestrians and motor vehicles mixed in the narrow passage. It was a breakpoint in the waterfront space. The design of the silk bridge achieves the continuity of the sports track. The route originally needed to bypass the ship lock has now become a passage with a frontline view of the Qiantang River. Hence, the largest urban breakpoint in the waterfront public space of Binjiang District has been connected. It provides convenient transportation for citizens and serves as a platform for walking and sightseeing, enhancing the viewing and diversity of the landscape along the way.
