Yide Stone Arch Bridge

　　Located 15 kilometers northwest of the city center, it spans the Sancha River section in Daqiao Village, Dahe Town. During the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty, a stone-pierred wooden-plank bridge was built. In the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), it was reconstructed into a stone arch bridge based on the original structure. The bridge is 54.3 meters long and 5.4 meters wide, with the bridge deck standing 8.6 meters above the water surface at normal water levels. Stone railings stand on both sides of the bridge deck, decorated at their centers with round carved stone dragons—the dragons’ heads facing upstream and tails downstream—adding an ancient yet vivid charm. The bridge features three arches: the southern span is 10 meters, the central span 11.8 meters, and the northern span 8.4 meters. There are 15 steps at the bridgehead on the southern cliff and 10 steps at the northern cliff. The entire bridge is built with rectangular stone blocks, forming a neat, sturdy, and majestic structure. This bridge served as a vital route connecting Shuicheng and Weining before 1966, playing an important role in promoting economic and cultural exchanges between the two counties and providing a physical reference for the study of transportation development. It was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit on December 28, 1987.
