Haiyang Jiaxi Bridge
Haiyang Jiaxi Bridge is a cultural heritage site protected at the municipal level by Huangshan City.
Haiyang Jiaxi Bridge is located in Haiyang Town, Xiuning County, dating back to the Qing Dynasty.
Jiaxi Bridge spans the Beiyuan River to the west of Haiyang Town, the county seat of Xiuning. It features 10 piers and 11 arches, with a total length of 189 meters. Not far east of the bridge lies the western gate of Xiuning, which was converted into a highway bridge during the Republican era. Today, a new bridge has been built to the north, and the original sees little vehicle traffic.
A cultural heritage marker at the bridgehead shows that Jiaxi Bridge was designated as a municipal-level protected site by Huangshan City in February 2012. Next to the marker is a restoration stele erected by the People’s Government of Xiuning County in March 1990.
