Suocui Bridge, Arch bridge and bicycle crossing in Xi'an Subdistrict, China.
Suocui Bridge is an arch structure spanning across Black Dragon Pool with five marble arches supporting the crossing. The bridge serves both pedestrians and cyclists, providing a direct route to the surrounding park.
The structure was completed in 1737 under Emperor Qianlong and was built to link communities across the artificial lake. Its construction reflects engineering advances of that era.
The bridge reflects traditional Chinese building methods that combined careful mathematics with regional design features from the Qing period. You can observe the craftsmanship in the stonework and classic arch design as you cross.
The crossing is accessible to both pedestrians and cyclists, with a level surface that is easy to navigate. Visit during clear weather to enjoy good views and safely appreciate the structure and surrounding landscape.
From the bridge, views extend toward nearby mountains and river landscapes that reveal the natural setting of the area. These vistas add to the crossing experience beyond its practical purpose.
