The first image is a 9 portrait orientation panorama of Jiu Qu Bridge (Yuyuan Garden Market Place, Shanghai, China) stitched together in PSE.
I also did a bit of dodging and burning, using a 50% grey filled layer with overlay blending mode, to extract a little more detail in the shadows.
The second image is a single shot from side on.
The enlargements are clearer.

What an enchanting looking place, great processing results. I love the size of the water lilies in the water.

Thank you jackscrap.
It's hard to tell from the photos I took because I couldn't find a high enough vantage point, but the bridge follows a zig-zag pattern.
I found this photo on the right (probably an old photo now) on the www which shows the bridge from high up. Maybe a drone was used for this photo.
I took the photos to make the panorama from the walk-way near the top left hand corner.

Thank you Berie.
Yes it was an amazing trip. But after 8 weeks away we are very happy to be back home now.
My Sigma 17-70mm lens helped a lot regarding the detail. With IS (Image Stabilisation), which Sigma claim is up to 4 stops, I still had to hold the camera very steady since the shutter speed was only 1/80s due to the overcast conditions. I don't take my tripod when traveling.
I also did some dodging and burning, as described earlier, to extract a little more detail in the shadows and highlights.

As I mentioned earlier, I couldn't get a high enough vantage point to show the zig-zag pattern of the bridge, but this photo I took sort of shows the pattern.
(Enlargement is clearer.)
