This bridge might be the most photographed bridge in the world. The reason, I think, is not because it's the longest, nor the oldest of its kind. It is simply because the designer had quite an artistic vision and successfully chose the red-orange (so-called "International Orange" color) to paint it. This makes the bridge quite outstanding and harmonic with its surrounding blue sky and green water. Look at all other dull-looking bridges and you'll know why this one is the most beautiful bridge in the world.
