It was built in the seventh year of the Tianqi era of the Ming Dynasty (1627) by the then-county magistrate Hu Liangchen, hence it is also known as Hu Gong Bridge.

The bridge is 34 meters long and is a three-arch stone bridge. The paving of the bridge deck is uniquely designed, with the middle section being 4.37 meters wide and flaring out towards both sides in a trumpet-like shape. Each arch is topped with a flat platform, connected by sloped stone steps, with vertical bands on both sides.
