Ninghai Bridge
宁海桥
A Yuan-dynasty stone bridge at the mouth of the Mulan River, about 225 metres long. “Ninghai Dawn” is one of the Twenty-Four Scenic Spots of Puyang.
Ninghai Bridge lies downstream on the Mulan River, near the river mouth. It was begun in 1334, in the second year of the Yuan dynasty’s Yuantong era, and repeatedly repaired during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a multi-arch stone beam bridge about 225 metres long. Its piers are shaped like boats to split the water. In the early morning, you can watch the sunrise over the Mulan River mouth from the bridge, which was known in ancient times as “Ninghai Dawn.” It is open free all day and is about 10 km from the city centre, so you can take a taxi.
