G Clef Bridge spans the Bailu River, connecting the French-style Bailu Music Town on the east bank with the modern, metallic Diamond Music Hall on the west bank. The bridge is located 550 meters downstream from the historic Sino-French Bridge site. The design employs fluid curves to establish a connection between the two banks and to harmonize the contrasting architectural styles. The main bridge deck extends from the “ridge path” of the Diamond Music Hall, winding across the river. It then utilizes a spiral ramp to rise over the riverside road, reaching the small open-air stage of the music town. The spiral ramp further extends upwards to form an aerial viewing platform, which also serves as a high stand for outdoor performances at the Diamond Music Hall, and downwards to integrate with the riverside landscape, forming a waterfront platform.
