Shiqikong Bridge
In Cantonese, the number 4 rhymes with the word for death, so 4 is an unpopular number, 8 sounds like wealth so it is a very poplular number. In Mandarin, the numbers sound different so these numbers do not carry the same meaning. The northern people like odd numbers and do not like even numbers. The bridge, therefore has an odd number of arches (17).
