About
Built in the Northern Song Dynasty under Cai Xiang’s supervision, it ranks among China’s Four Great Ancient Bridges, and is China’s earliest surviving large‑scale cross‑sea stone beam bridge. It adopted the world‑famous raft‑shaped pier and oyster‑cement foundation technology. The granite bridge stretches across Luoyang River estuary.
Core highlights include boat‑shaped stone piers, ancient stone pagodas, bridge‑guard stone generals, historic steles, Cai Xiang Shrine and mangrove tidal flats. It combines grand ancient bridge engineering, coastal wetland scenery and Maritime‑Silk‑Road historical relics. Travellers come for heritage sightseeing, tidal‑flat exploration and sunset photography.
