Risingsun Bridge is located on the west side of the middle section of Yanhe Road, Chengguan Town. It was built in the 54th year of the Kangxi reign (1715). Together with the downstream Yuehua Bridge, it shares the symbolic meaning of “the sun and moon ascending,” hence the name “Risingsun Bridge.” Completed in the 13th year of the Qianlong reign (1748), it connects the east and west bridgeheads and is the foremost of the five bridges over Guancheng River, known as the “Upper Water Gate.” It underwent renovation in the 13th year of the Guangxu reign (1887). The bridge runs east-west, spanning Guancheng River. It is a single-arch stone bridge, approximately 20 meters long, about 5 meters wide, with a clear span of around 14 meters and a rise of about 5 meters.
