Tongji Bridge, Stone bridge in Yuyao City, China.

The Tongji Bridge extends 50 meters across the water with three spans, featuring a central span measuring 14.2 meters and 106 stone steps.

The initial construction began during the Northern Song dynasty between 1041 and 1048, with subsequent reconstructions including major repairs in the Yongzheng period.

A Buddhist monk named Huixing started the Yuan dynasty reconstruction, and after his death, Taoist priest Li Daoning completed the project in 1332.

The bridge maintains sufficient clearance underneath for water vessels to pass through, as recorded on an engraved stone tablet near the structure.

The structure holds recognition as the first large arch bridge constructed in Eastern Zhejiang, leading to its designation as the First Bridge of Eastern Zhe.
