Yinding Bridge, Stone bridge between Shichahai and Houhai lakes in Beijing, China.
The curved stone structure spans across the waterway connecting Shichahai and Houhai lakes, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements and stone railings.
Built during the Ming Dynasty, this crossing point served as a vital connection for trade and transport between different sections of Beijing's northern districts.
The bridge's design mirrors the shape of a silver ingot, a symbol of wealth in Chinese culture, which influenced its common name among local residents.
Located near public transportation stations and surrounded by restaurants, the bridge connects visitors to both the historic Shichahai area and modern Houhai district.
From its central position, the bridge offers unobstructed views of the Western Hills and willow trees reflecting in the waters of both connected lakes.
