Qiqiaoweng, Stone arch bridge in Qinhuai District, China
The stone bridge spans 99.4 meters in length, reaches 25 meters in height, and features seven arches constructed with granite blocks measuring 0.65 meters wide.
Built during the early Ming Dynasty, Qiqiaoweng served as a strategic military position and witnessed numerous battles during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.
The bridge features thirty carved stone beast heads along its sides, with fifteen on each edge, displaying the craftsmanship of Ming Dynasty stone carving.
The bridge structure includes boat-shaped piers with pointed ends, specifically designed to reduce water impact and protect the foundation from river currents.
Each beast head on the bridge piers functions as a navigation marker for passing boats, warning vessels about potential collisions with the structure.
