Zhanggong Bridge

Zhanggong Bridge is a cultural relic protection unit of Hunan Province.

Zhanggong Bridge is situated upstream of the Baishui River in Zhanggongqiao Village, Baishui Town, Miluo City, and runs in a true east-west direction, with the Baishui River flowing from north to south. Constructed in the 20th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it is a two-pier, three-arch thin-arch granite arch bridge. The bridge is 43 meters long, 7.3 meters wide, and 7.2 meters high overall, with arch spans measuring between 7.3 and 6 meters. The central arch is slightly higher than the side arches by about one layer. The arch rings, the two piers in the river, and the main body of the bridge are well preserved. Aside from a few capstones on the bridge deck and the water-dividing platform that have been artificially pried off, the rest remains in relatively good condition. In 2000, the eastern end of the bridge was washed away by a flood, and an additional arch was added during subsequent repairs.
