Precious Belt Bridge, Stone footbridge in Suzhou, China
The Precious Belt Bridge extends over 317 meters with 53 arches and spans across the junction of the Grand Canal and Tantai Lake.
Built in 816 during the Tang Dynasty, the bridge received its name from Wang Zhongshu, who sold his decorated belt to finance its construction.
The granite tablet pavilion and two octagonal towers with dragon carvings at the northern end represent traditional Chinese architectural elements.
The bridge connects the Wuzhong Economic Development Zone to central Suzhou, providing pedestrian access across the Grand Canal waterway system.
Three central arches rise higher than the others to accommodate large river vessels, while thin supporting piers create a narrow profile.
