Baliqiao, Stone bridge in eastern Beijing, China
The marble bridge stretches across the Tonghui River, connecting the districts of Tongzhou and Chaoyang with its 50-meter length.
The Battle of Baliqiao in 1860 marked a turning point in the Second Opium War when Anglo-French forces defeated 30,000 Chinese soldiers.
The Qianlong Emperor initiated ceremonial boat journeys to the Jiangnan region from this bridge, which stood eight li from the Imperial City.
The bridge location connects to the Batong Line of Beijing Subway and the Jingtong Expressway, making it accessible through multiple transportation options.
A Qing dynasty pavilion protects stone tablets featuring the Qianlong Emperor's calligraphy, preserving historical inscriptions at the site.
