Aerial photo taken on Sept. 1, 2019 shows the panoramic view of Male, capital of Maldives. The China-Maldives Friendship Bridge, the first cross-sea bridge in the Maldives built by a Chinese company connecting the Maldivian capital of Male with neighboring Hulhule Island, was inaugurated on Aug. 30, 2018 and put into use on Sept. 7, 2018. The 2-km-long bridge is an iconic project of the Maldives and China in co-building the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The bridge makes it possible for locals and tourists to travel between the two islands within five minutes. In one year, the bridge has brought great convenience for local people in their daily life.
