Photos of Guangji Bridge

Guangji Bridge, commonly known as Xiangzi Bridge, was built in the seventh year of Songgandao (AD 1171) and has a long history. Together with Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge and Lugou Bridge, it is called "China's Four Ancient Bridges". The bridge deck is antique and the bridge body spans the Han River. It integrates girder bridges, arch bridges and pontoon bridges. The structure is very special and can be called an isolated example in the history of bridges in my country. Standing on the bank of the Hanjiang River, you can feel the magnificent momentum of Guangji Bridge. There are stone piers on both sides. There are exquisite pavilions and pavilions on the bridge piers. The middle is connected by 18 ancient pontoon bridges. Don't be funny. However, due to the need for navigation, at around 5:30 pm, the pontoon bridge will be closed to allow cargo ships to pass through the river. If you happen to pass by then, you might as well stop and enjoy the unique view of "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".
