Anshun Covered Bridge

Anshun Covered Bridge

Anshun Covered Bridge is situated 135 meters upstream of the Nanhe River at the junction of the Fuhe and Nanhe Rivers, spanning the Nanhe. The main span of the bridge is 81 meters in length and 23.6 meters in width. Rebuilt in 1996 on the original site of the ancient Anshun Bridge, it serves as a scenic bridge that combines history, culture, commerce, dining, and pedestrian use. Its name reflects the poetic idea of “a celestial magpie bridge above, and an earthly covered bridge below.” Here, you can admire large-scale bas-reliefs themed on Tang poetry and Song ci poetry, terraced waterscapes, and the enchanting view of “flowing water above and beneath the bridge,” immersing yourself in a romantic journey of “love meetings on the covered bridge.”

Anshun Covered Bridge, located beside Hejiang Pavilion at the confluence of the Fuhe and Nanhe Rivers in Chengdu, has a long history. Originally built during the Yuan Dynasty, it was one of the four most memorable bridges in Marco Polo’s travel accounts. The bridge was once destroyed by floods, but the restored Anshun Bridge was unveiled again in 2003.

It houses Chengdu’s only restaurant on a bridge. The restaurant is decorated in an antique style, offering a unique ambiance and making it a perfect spot to enjoy the night view of the water while reflecting on the past.
