Hongji Bridge
弘济桥
An open-spandrel, single-arch stone bridge over the Fuyang River, similar in design to Zhaozhou Bridge. An old bridge landmark on the east side of Guangfu Ancient Town.
Hongji Bridge lies in Dongqiao Village, about 3 km east of Guangfu Ancient Town. It spans the Fuyang River as a single-arch, open-spandrel stone bridge with a round arch. Two small arches on each shoulder of the main arch follow the same structural tradition as Zhaozhou Bridge. The bridge body is generally believed to have been rebuilt in the Ming dynasty, and it is a national key cultural relic protection site. Wheel ruts are clearly visible on the stone deck, and the balustrade carvings are simple and old. The site is not large, so it's worth a stop by bike or taxi after visiting Guangfu Ancient Town. Entry is free.
