Guanyin Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Mount Lu, Jiangxi, China.

The bridge spans 24.45 meters in length, rises 10.7 meters in height, measures 4.94 meters in width, and features a main span of 10.33 meters.

The structure, completed in 1014 during Emperor Zhenzong's reign of the Song dynasty, represents one of China's earliest surviving stone arch bridges.

Originally named Qianxian Bridge, it received its current name after the establishment of Cihang Temple, dedicated to Guanyin, during the Qing dynasty.

The bridge crosses Sanxia Stream and consists of 107 granite pieces, demonstrating engineering methods from the Song dynasty period.

The construction date remains visible on the bridge deck, providing direct evidence of its thousand-year history through an original inscription.
