Guangfu Bridge

Guangfu Bridge is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Fujian Province.

Guangfu Bridge, also known as Xiyuan Bridge, is located north of Lingxia Village in Pinqing County. It runs from southeast to northwest. Originally built in the first year of the Yuantong era during the Yuan Dynasty (1333) and renovated in the twelfth year of the Jiaqing era of the Qing Dynasty (1806), the bridge is 32.5 meters long, 4.8 meters wide, with a single span of 26 meters and a height of 10.5 meters above the water surface. The bridge house consists of 11 bays supported by 48 pillars, featuring a double-sloped roof with a double-beam (twin beam) structure on the central ridge.

Both Guangli Bridge and Guangfu Bridge span across Lingxia Stream, with just over 200 meters between them, making them one of the few sister bridges in northeastern Fujian and southwestern Zhejiang.

It was designated as a provincial-level cultural heritage site in 2005.
