There are additional photos of the bridge, taken at a pub, on the Wikiloc track for "Xinghai Park".
Scenic areas for hiking and other attractions are easy to access along the mountain above the tunnel and to the east of it. The eastbound lane on the bridge can exit just before going into the tunnel and this continues towards the Binhai Road scenic drive.
