Flat Beam Bridge
Located approximately 200 meters east of Pengjia Village, Pengjia Village Committee, Renhe Town, the bridge runs from east to west. It is constructed with four piers made from single blocks of red stone, and the cutwaters extend about 1 meter from the piers. The bridge is 13.2 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, and 2.1 meters high. The bridge deck is paved with three rows of nine long bluestone slabs, each slab being approximately 4.5 meters long, 90 centimeters wide, and 20 centimeters thick. The bridge appears unique and aesthetically pleasing from a distance, while up close it looks sturdy and solid.
According to local villagers, the bridge was built in 1910 by a villager named Peng Caixin. It has been around for about a hundred years, remains well-preserved, and is still in use today.
