Built at a cost of $7.8 million (50 million yuan), The Chunhua footbridge in Shenzhen, China, is an amazing 14-meter-wide overpass that was designed in the shape of a flower. Though the public structure has incurred much criticism since it was built, the building may not be the only with questionable design features. The 130-meter-long overpass on Chuangye Road has 13 elevators and six staircases. The cost of this flyover is unknown.
