Tongsheng Bridge is located in the middle section of Yanhe Road, Chengguan Town. As it is situated at the river mouth northeast of Beiyong’an Gate in Chengguan Town, it is also known as “Yong’an Bridge.” Legend has it that the allocated funds were feared to be insufficient, so local scholars (tongsheng) donated money to support the construction, hence the name “Tongsheng Bridge.” It is commonly referred to as “Xiashuiguan.” Originally built in the 13th year of the Qianlong reign (1748), it was completed the following year (1749). In 1962, after being expanded, it was renamed “Chongxing Bridge.” It runs east-west, spanning the Guancheng River. This single-arch stone bridge is approximately 25 meters long, about 7 meters wide, with a clear span of around 19 meters and a height of about 12 meters.
