Jichuan Bridge

Jichuan Bridge
  Jichuan Bridge is situated in Chen Tianwei, Zhongxin Village, Tangxia Town. It was first constructed in the 46th year of the Kangxi reign (1706) during the Qing Dynasty as a wooden bridge, and was rebuilt as the stone arch bridge seen today during its renovation in the 35th year of the Qianlong reign (1770).

  This bridge is a typical single-arch stone structure, built with dark red sandstone blocks. The entire bridge is 30 meters long, 6.9 meters wide, and 2.3 meters across, with a single arch spanning 9 meters and an arch height of 3.45 meters. Its simple, classic design makes it the longest existing stone arch bridge in Xinhui. It was designated as a municipal (county-level) cultural relic protection unit of Xinhui City in 1995. The bridge is flanked by blooming night-blooming cereus, banana trees, and wild grasses, often frequented by villagers carrying hoes at sunset. Wooden boats occasionally glide beneath it, their reflections dancing on the water, creating a serene pastoral scene that has become a favorite subject for photographers.
