Nightly Lighting Time of Anshun Bridge

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know what time is the Anshun Bridge fully lit every night? Photos look amazing and would like to see it up close.

Answer

The Anshun Bridge in Chengdu is a popular evening attraction due to its colorful lighting and riverside ambiance. The bridge is illuminated every night, and the full lighting display typically starts around sunset.

More specifically:

The lights generally come on between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM, depending on the time of year and when sunset occurs.
The lighting remains on until approximately 11:00 PM to midnight, giving visitors ample time to enjoy the views and take photos.
The display is consistent throughout the week, but weekends may be slightly brighter due to additional decorative lighting or events.

Tips for visiting:

Arrive just before sunset to see the transition from daylight to full illumination—it makes for great photography.
Consider taking a riverside walk or a short boat ride nearby for different perspectives of the lit bridge.
Weekday visits are generally less crowded, so you can enjoy the views without too many people in your photos.

Overall, planning your visit between 6:30 PM and 9:30 PM ensures you’ll see the Anshun Bridge fully lit and have enough time to experience the surrounding riverside area.
