Gaojiadu Chain Bridge

　　Gaojiadu Chain Bridge, also known as Pujie Bridge, spans the Beipan River between Xinjie Township and Yingpan Township in Shuicheng County, located 80 kilometers from the downtown area of Liupanshui. The bridge is 79.6 meters long and 3 meters wide, constructed with 17 parallel iron chains, 2 guard chains, and 54 iron pull plates. It was completed and put into use in the 32nd year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty. Viewed from the riverbed, the bridge resembles a soaring dragon, an awe-inspiring sight. Cliff inscriptions and steles can be found on the stone walls at both ends of the bridge. Since its construction, apart from the destruction of the bridge shelter and some of the inscriptions, the main structure remains well-preserved. It represents an architectural milestone in Shuicheng’s bridge-building history and is now a provincial-level cultural heritage site.
