About this audio guide
This guide to Wuchazi Bridge in Chengdu follows two Berlin architects, Tom Wunschmann and Achim Kaufer, who won a 2015 competition to connect a riverside park to nearby apartments and answered with a shape borrowed from mathematics: the Mobius strip. It traces how that looped, one-surfaced ribbon became a figure-eight of concrete and steel opened in late 2019, stacking a fast upper lane over a slower riverside path. Try the lower path at the water's edge, where landings let you sit and watch the loops cross overhead.
