Sanlitang Bridge

Sanlitang Bridge is a cultural relic protection unit of Zhejiang Province.

Sanlitang Bridge is located to the south of No. 18, Wuyanqiao, Hongfu Village, Tiening Town. Dating back to the Republican era, it falls under the category of modern important historical sites and representative architecture.

Sanlitang Bridge was originally built during the Ming Dynasty and was reconstructed in the eighth year of the Republican era (1919). The pavilion on the north side of the bridge approach was renovated in the 1990s through fundraising by local villagers. In June 2010, it was designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit. In April 2017, along with Ruilin Bridge, Yuantong Bridge, Anba Bridge, and Anfu Bridge, it was listed as part of the "Tiening Ancient Bridges Group" and declared a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit.

Covering an area of 95 square meters, Sanlitang Bridge is a five-arch stone slab flat bridge stretching from north to south across Sanlitang. The bridge is 31.6 meters long, with a deck width of 2.1 meters and an approach width of 2.4 meters. The central arch is constructed with block stones, and inscriptions on both sides of the central arch read “Reconstructed in the eighth year of the Republican era (1919), Sanlitang Bridge.” The bridge is equipped with railings and four pairs of pillar capitals. The north approach has 11 steps, while the south approach has 8. On the north side of the bridge approach stands a pavilion with a hip-and-gable roof and a five-beam frame. Five-arch bridges are relatively rare in the Jiaxing area, and this one is largely well-preserved, possessing certain historical and artistic value.

On June 7, 2010, Sanlitang Bridge was designated as a cultural relic protection unit of Jiashan County.
