A salt-lashed wind meets the car window as you cross Donghai (East Sea) Bridge — 32.5 kilometers of concrete that curves like a deliberate S across the mouth of Hangzhou Bay. From the deck, rows of wind turbines and the low, restless swell of the East China Sea push the view outward; gulls wheel and dare you to look away.
