Guangji Bridge, Covered footbridge over the Han River in Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou, China.

Guangji Bridge crosses the Han River east of Chaozhou as a mixed beam, arch and pontoon bridge about 520 metres long, with 21 surviving stone piers. Its 12 pavilions and 18 pavilion houses have grey tiled roofs with upturned eaves, dark wooden pillars, red lanterns and inscribed plaques; stone stairs lead to an entrance closed by a metal fence.

Guangji Bridge was built in 1170 by magistrate Zeng Wang as a floating bridge of 86 boats, originally named Kangji Bridge. Flooding destroyed it in 1174, and from 1194 magistrates added stone piers from the west bank. By 1513, under Tan Lun, it reached 18 boats and 24 piers. The 2003–2007 restoration rebuilt the Ming-style pavilions and the pontoon section.

Locals call the bridge Xiangzi Bridge on the east bank and Guangji Bridge on the west, a split traced to the legend of Han Xiangzi and the monk Guangji racing to build it. The nickname of the nightly light show, "Dang Dang Dang", comes from its Chaozhou big gong and drum accompaniment.

Entry closes at 16:30 each day, and the floating section in the middle is withdrawn at night, so the bridge cannot be crossed after that. The restored Ming-style walkway runs between pavilions on stone piers; the ticket office is at the entrance reached by stone stairs.

The pontoon section is pulled aside at night, and since 2018 the bridge has hosted a nightly light show called "Light of Fengcheng", accompanied by Chaozhou big gong and drum music, which locals nicknamed "dang dang dang".
