Minneapolis, located in Minnesota, is a small city. Like many small American cities, there are many high-rise buildings and commercial facilities. Nicollet Street is bustling with shops on both sides of the street, including local boutiques and internationally renowned brands. It is a paradise for shopping lovers. The Stone Arch Bridge spans the Mississippi River and is a witness to the city's history. It has now become an exclusive passage for pedestrians and bicycles, overlooking the magnificent river view and St. Anthony Falls. The famous Basilica of St. Mary, as the first papal basilica in the United States, has an amazing architectural style. There are also educational institutions such as Golden Valley Lutheran College and North Central Bible College. In your spare time, take a stroll in the picturesque Loring Park or visit the Walker Art Center full of modern art. Both are good choices.Minneapolis · 9.4 km from Crystal

The bridge is now non-driving, only walking or cycling, but you can drive over from the highway next to it and view the bridge from the side. Near the arch bridge is a memorial site for the 2007 Route 35 bridge in Minnesota.Minneapolis · 10.2 km from Crystal

The AerialLiftBridge is one of the more famous landmarks in Duluth or all of Minnesota. When the span is fully raised, 180 feet of clearance can be achieved. The span is 386 feet long and weighs about 900 tons! This bridge is very similar to another bridge in Rouen, France.United States · Duluth

The Chinese people who used to see stone arch bridges seem to have a sense of invisibility to this ordinary stone bridge, but in the local area, the bridge is still quite appreciated and remembered.

Generally speaking, there weren't too many surprises. I went there in winter, and it was a world of snow. Lake Superior in winter was a bit bleak. Canal Park was pretty good. You could see the entire bridge and the path along the lake. There was a nice little exhibition hall inside. Unfortunately, I went there at a bad time because it was only open on weekends! You must go to Duluth in summer because many attractions are closed in winter. In short, it was a nice, quiet port town.
