Jiuyan Bridge

Spectacular view at night. Beautiful architecture and lighting. Must do for photographers. The bridge is surrounded by bars, but be warned the prices are outrageous and most are geared towards bittle service.

How to play in Chengdu at night, of course, is to go to Jiuyanqiao, a famous gathering place for bars in Chengdu, and experience the nightlife of Chengdu in the neon world. It is very close to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li. I rode a bike from Taikoo Li to the Funan River in 10 minutes. The Jiuyan Bridge, also known as Zhenjiang Bridge, was built in 1593 and has a history of 400 years. The current Jiuyan Bridge has been reconstructed. The entire bridge surface is no longer curved, but has become a plane bridge. The arc cave is added with twelve small holes, and the exterior is entirely made of antique bluestone blocks. The bridge deck is paved with bluestone blocks to retain the image of an arch bridge with the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. On both sides of the Jiuyan Bridge is the bar street, you can see the lights of Chengdu at night, the Jiuyan Bridge under the night, and the lights of the bars on both sides, the night scene is really good. Of course, the Anshun Covered Bridge of the Jiuyan Bridge is one of the places that best reflects the characteristics of Chengdu's night scene. Standing on the Jiuyan Bridge and overlooking the Anshun Covered Bridge, it is reflected on the charming Funan River, which is very beautiful. The night at Jiuyan Bridge is really lively. You can choose a small bar that you like and the price of the drink is right. You can enjoy the scenery by the river while listening to the folk singers. When we were drinking and singing at Jiuyanqiao, who would have thought that this was a cargo distribution center and labor market before. This is the memory of old Chengdu. I am a clockwise, an older youth who loves to travel, photography, and clock in. Although not a professional traveler, travel is a compulsory course in my life and an indispensable part of my life. I love to take photos casually. , I also love to share my journey experience and experience. If you think my notes are helpful to you, please feel free to give me a compliment.

Every time I go to Chengdu, I can feel its changes, and it has become more and more of a metropolis. Chengdu is very hot and humid, and the night is okay. The lights of Jiuyan Bridge are bright and eye-catching. There are several singers playing guitar nearby, and the familiar "Chengdu" floats past my ears from time to time. The bar street and Lan Kwai Fong on both sides of the Jiuyan Bridge are very lively.

Jiuyan Bridge is located in Jinjiang District of Chengdu. It was named Hongji Bridge in ancient times and Zhenjiang Bridge. It was built in the twenty-first year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1593) and was built by Yu Yilong, the then chief ambassador. It is a large arch bridge with stone railings and stone bridge deck. It is 4 feet long and 3 feet high, with 9 holes underneath. In the 53rd year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1788), it was renamed Jiuyan Bridge by Governor Li Shijie. It was rebuilt in the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong (1790). In 1988, a new cross-steel-framed concrete precast bridge was built on the west side of Jiuyan Bridge. Starting from the base of the bridge, it is about 120 meters long and 25 meters wide. At the north end of the bridge, there is a car passage traversing east and west, forming a semi-vertical cross bridge. The ancient nine-eye bridge was demolished in the winter of 1992.

As the name suggests, the bridge has 9 holes. The original name is Hongji Bridge, also known as Zhenjiang Bridge. It is the largest stone arch bridge on the Jinjiang River. Now, Chengdu Jiuyanqiao is one of the gathering places for bars. Jiuyanqiao Bar Street is a symbol of Chengdu night culture. At night, a street by the river is brightly lit. The Jiuyan Bridge at night is the most beautiful and interesting. You can sit outside and watch the river view while enjoying the scenery and drinking wine.
