Beian Bridge

　　Beian Bridge was first built in 1973. The entire bridge has three spans, with a total span of 93 meters and a single span of 24.8 meters. After renovation, the original bridge was elevated by 1.5 meters, with each side widened by 9 meters, and a 4-meter waterside platform added on both sides of the original abutments. The renovated Beian Bridge showcases a classical architectural style, with an elegant, graceful, and uniquely distinctive design. The bridgehead sculptures adopt Western classical forms while incorporating traditional Chinese elements — the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise — symbolizing peace in the four cardinal directions. The pier statues feature bronze frontal decorations of coiled dragons, while the bases of the railing pillars are adorned with four musically posed female figures holding different instruments — pipa, sheng, and xiao — all glistening in gold, exuding elegance and nobility. The pedestrian walkway and non-motorized vehicle lane are paved with granite, complemented by vase-shaped stone railings. The renovated Beian Bridge is a perfect blend of classical and modern aesthetics, and with its unique style, it has become another highlight along the Haihe River.
