Quanzhou·Luoyang Bridge.

"How many springs have the thorny locust flowers seen, how many years have the east and west towers been facing each other, how many people have walked across Luoyang Bridge, how many ships have sailed out of Quanzhou Bay; now it's my turn to walk on the bridge, from the ancient banyan tree at the head of the bridge to the north bank, from Cai Gong Temple to Cai Gong Statue, I set foot on the Northern Song Dynasty." - Yu Guangzhong "Luoyang Bridge" Luoyang Bridge, also known as Wan'an Bridge, is the earliest existing cross-sea beam stone bridge in China, known as the first bridge in the sea. It pioneered advanced bridge-building technologies such as "raft foundation", "oyster planting and foundation solidification", and "floating beam transportation". It is known as one of the four famous ancient bridges in China, along with Lugou Bridge in Beijing, Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei, and Guangji Bridge in Guangdong. Cai Xiang, a Northern Song Dynasty official, served as the governor of Quanzhou twice and presided over the construction of the bridge during his tenure. On both sides of the bridge are carved water-controlling beasts called "Deng", one of the nine sons of the dragon, facing the river to guard. On the bridge is the Ashoka Tower, carved with Moonlight Bodhisattva and Sanskrit stone inscriptions. When the tide recedes, you can see that the piers are sharp and boat-shaped, the mangroves are reflected in the water, and egrets are foraging on the shallows. Walking on the bridge, the wind is light and the sun is just right, there are not too many tourists, you can stroll leisurely, listen to the stories about Luoyang Bridge, and feel the breath of old times.
