Xiangfu Bridge, Ming dynasty stone arch bridge in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, China

The Xiangfu Bridge spans 28 meters in length, rises 5 meters high, and stretches 3.6 meters wide across the Grand Canal in Hangzhou.

The original bridge was documented in 1268 during the Southern Song dynasty, while the current structure was rebuilt in 1543 under the Jiajing Emperor.

Stone lions stand atop baluster columns, and lotus carvings decorate the bridge piers, reflecting traditional Chinese architectural elements.

The bridge provides pedestrian access across the Grand Canal in the Xiangfu Subdistrict, connecting different sections of the Gongshu District.

The State Council of China designated Xiangfu Bridge as a Major National Historical and Cultural Site in May 2013.
