In order to experience the direct connection, many private car owners in Taizhou quickly turned around and drove onto the bridge again after driving off the Taizhou Bridge. For them, this is a crossing of the "natural chasm". Transportation: The Taizhou Yangtze River Highway Bridge runs through central Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu, connecting Taizhou, Zhenjiang and Changzhou. It only takes half an hour from Yangzhong to Taizhou Airport and Taizhou Railway Station.

With one bridge and three cities, Taizhou, Changzhou and Zhenjiang have achieved a "handshake" across the river, with one-hour access, which has also brought the three cities into the "era of urbanization".

"Ode to the Elegance of Chinese Famous Danes in the South of the Yangtze River" is a special tourism product launched by Taizhou City in conjunction with Changzhou, Wuxi and Suzhou in Sichuan Province. Thanks to the convenience of Taizhou Bridge, this product specifically incorporates Taizhou into popular tourist routes in Jiangsu. In this route, tourists from Sichuan fly directly from Chengdu to Changzhou, then come to Taizhou from Taizhou Bridge, experience Taizhou’s Fengcheng River, Old Street, Qin Lake, etc., and then leave Taizhou from Jiangyin Bridge and go straight to Wuxi.

Nowadays, with Taizhou Bridge and Jiangyin Bridge as fast passages, a tourism pattern of deep integration and interaction between Taizhou, southern Jiangsu and the Yangtze River Delta region has been formed. "The opening of the Taizhou Bridge is conducive to the breakthrough of Taizhou's tourist source radius. Taizhou is accelerating its integration into the new East China Line territory, which is the most watershed significance, and is the first to score among the emerging tourist cities in Jiangsu Province."
