Yongtong Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Zhao County, China
The stone bridge extends 26 meters across the Xiao River with a single circular arch design featuring traditional architectural techniques from ancient China.
The construction of Yongtong Bridge began during the Tang dynasty around 765, though some historians suggest it was built between 1190 and 1196.
Multiple stone inscriptions near the bridge contain information about its origins, reflecting the engineering methods and architectural practices of ancient Chinese builders.
The bridge remains accessible to pedestrians crossing the Xiao River, connecting local communities while maintaining its status as a protected national heritage site.
Engineers used locally sourced materials and specific building techniques that allowed the structure to endure natural elements for over eight centuries.
