Nine-turn bridge, Stone bridge in West Lake, China.
The Nine-turn Bridge extends over water with multiple angular turns, featuring decorative guard rails and stone construction throughout its length.
The bridge design originated during the Song Dynasty, becoming a standard element in garden architecture across Chinese imperial and private gardens.
The structure represents the Chinese garden principle of creating different perspectives and views through careful architectural placement and design.
Visitors walk across the bridge to reach different sections of the garden while experiencing varied viewpoints of surrounding landscapes and water features.
