Tipsy by the bridge, romantic time in Brisbane

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 #Brisbane Brisbane is a city that developed along the riverbank, and the entire rhythm of life is closely linked to the river. The Story Bridge is not only an important road connecting the north and the south, it was also listed as a Queensland heritage site as early as 1992 and is one of the longest cantilever bridges in Australia. It was named not for some romantic story, but in honor of John Douglas Story, a public servant who pushed for the bridge's construction. This time I chose to take the free sightseeing ferry (CityHopper) and slowly admire the Story Bridge from the river. Looking at it from different angles, the bridge has different beauty in the sun or under the lights at night, making people unable to help but take pictures all the time. At this time, I found that the most comfortable way is to find a restaurant or bar by the river, order a cold beer, and sit down and slowly appreciate the Story Bridge. Looking at the traffic and crowds on the bridge, and then watching the sunset slowly sinking, the whole of Brisbane is dyed in warm gold, which is super romantic. If you have time, you can also walk on the bridge, feel the strong breeze by the river, and overlook the riverside scenery from a high place; if you are braver, you can sign up for the "Story Bridge Climb" challenge, climb directly to the top of the bridge, and have a 360-degree bird's eye view of the entire city. It is said to be super shocking! (But I'll let myself off this time, haha.) In short, Story Bridge is not only a landmark of Brisbane, but also the most daily and beautiful part of the lives of local people. Whether you are taking a boat, taking a walk, or just sitting quietly with a glass of wine and enjoying the scenery, you can feel the unique charm of this city.
