Yunxi Bridge

　　Yunxi Bridge was first built in the third year of the Zhengde era of the Ming Dynasty (1508) and collapsed in the 33rd year of the Jiajing era (1554), after which ferrying was used for 11 years. It was rebuilt in the 44th year of the Jiajing era (1565) by Wei Lianchuan, the magistrate of Xun County at the time.　

　　Yunxi Bridge is a five-arch bridge, known for its elegant design and sturdy durability. It is 60 meters long, 10 meters high, and 12 meters wide. The central arch is taller to allow the passage of boats, and its spandrel is carved with a “tiger head,” flanked by floral patterns. At the four corners of the bridge’s piers at both ends stand recumbent stone water beasts, each with a fierce and lifelike expression. These carvings hold considerable artistic value, and the bridge is now a provincial-level cultural heritage site.
