The China national law prohibits that structures extend over Yangzi river. However, the dike has 6.5 meters over the Yangzi river, so that visitors could not close to water. The solution that solve the problem is redesigning steps on the dike in order to decrease the height of the dike and shorten the distance that between visitors and Yangzi river.
