Episode 56 - Danger, Not Danger















This photo was taken at the seaside near the Xiamen Hulishan Fortress.

The wording on the notice board means: "Dangerous bridge. People who have nothing to do with it keep away."

As you can see from the photo, a sampan is mooring at the floating board connected to the bridge. It is obvious that the bridge is being used for some purpose.

If it is dangerous, it is not fit for use. How come a related person can use it? Does the sampan belong to a related person? If the sampan owner did use the bridge, anything unusual happened?

Is this a hoax or a real danger?

I could not resist the temptation to step on the bridge.

I came home safely.

This is my interpretation:
1. Definitely somebody has been using the bridge.
2. The bridge does look a bit unsafe.
3. The erected sign is a DISCLAIMER, i.e. "Cross at your own risk".
4. "I came home safely" means "You WERE lucky!"
Merry Christmas!
