Qing Yu told Yao Shen that he could find Meng Po around the Bridge of Forgetfulness, either on the bridge itself, or at her house nearby.
The roads leading up the bridge over the Spring of Forgetfulness were no less crowded, but there was a different energy about the ghosts there.
Yao Shen expects to see some grand open area, and a magnificent bridge rising over the a large swath of the springs.
Instead, he finds a narrow wooden viewing bridge linking two banks of the river, which could more accurately be called a stream. The towering buildings seem to lean towards each other as Yao Shen makes his way to the bridge, almost forming an archway.
The other side of the riverbank looks just as crowded and busy as the rest of Youdu. Yao Shen is confused about where exactly the souls are supposed to "cross" to.
