Luoyang Bridge, Stone bridge in Luoyang Town, China.

The Luoyang Bridge stretches 1100 meters across the Luoyang River, featuring 46 granite piers and 645 stone railings adorned with 104 lion statues.

Construction of the bridge started in 1053 under the supervision of governor Cai Xiang, marking a milestone in Chinese engineering during the Northern Song Dynasty.

The bridge contains multiple pagodas, stone towers, and ancient inscriptions that represent architectural elements from the Song and Yuan periods.

Travelers can reach the bridge by taking bus number 13 from Quanzhou Railway Station or bus number 19 from the New Bus Station.

Engineers cultivated oysters beneath the bridge structure, using their natural secretions to strengthen the connection between stone piers and footstones.
