Created by LlywelynII (talk). Self-nominated at 17:38, 2 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Five-Pavilion Bridge; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Looks good to go. I recommend the first hook. See details below.

• Article is long enough, new enough at time of nomination, neutrally-written, and precisely sourced throughout. No obvious copyvio detected (using earwig tool).
• All hooks are short enough. First hook is verifiable with what appear to be reliable sources. Second hook is sourced to a website in Chinese, which I'm afraid I can't read, but I'm taking assuming good faith (from reading the article, I take it that the comment comes from a notable architect, rather than just from the city's own website). Third hook is verifiable (I can't access Chen Lifang et al, but I see the relevant info in Olivová).
• Image is properly licensed, used in article, and looks great in thumbnail.
• QPQ done.
• All three hooks are interesting. I recommend the first hook: it's clear and a great introductory line for the topic. Next preference is for the third hook. Least preference for the second hook, mainly because it's a statement more likely to be seen as subjective, and in a way it's less informative than the other two hooks that focus on facts. That's my opinion at any rate.
