In 1979, it was declared as ‘World Heritage Site’ because of its construction, natural beauty and location. Around 3 million, tourists come here every year. There was no way here in earlier times except by using the causeway on the low tide. A plan followed, finally allowed a elevated causeway completed in the year 2009, but as no vehicles could use this, a new bridge was constructed and will be opened in 2015.

A few days earlier he told his Mother that he was about to realize his dream. He married her recently. They studied together in a school during their childhood. That is is why the liking had developed. After sometimes they had separated. Weng tried very hard to locate her but failed initially. One day Weng’s Father talked to the relatives of Jiang and was able to find her address. Weng located her at the address given.
They were jubilant to meet again after 18 years. They went to the same spot where they used to meet on the bridge at the age of about six years during their younger days. The bridge was a memorial for them.
Both the families are happy today and wonder that he had to wait for 18 years for the girl he had liked during his childhood.
