Sanban Bridge

Sanban Bridge

Sanban Bridge is located 100 meters west of Xiaopongli Group, Taoyuan Village, Zaoxi Township, Fengxin County, and is a structure from the Song Dynasty. This bridge is a single-arch stone beam bridge, with three stone slabs placed side by side and simply stacked on granite piers. The bridge is 2.85 meters long and 1.65 meters wide. One side of the bridge deck is inscribed in intaglio with “Donated by Wang Cheng in the Year of Renyin, the Seventh Year of Yuanyou during the Great Song Dynasty.” The three slabs are generally well-preserved and provide certain reference value for studying the construction style of bridges at that time.
