Guangji Bridge, Seven-arch stone bridge in Tangqi Ancient Town, Hangzhou, China

This historic stone bridge spans approximately 78.7 meters across the Grand Canal, featuring seven elegant arches with the central arch measuring nearly 15.69 meters in width.

Originally constructed during the Tang Dynasty's Baoli era over a millennium ago, the bridge was fully reconstructed in 1498 during the Ming Dynasty to maintain its structural integrity.

The bridge serves as a protected cultural heritage site representing traditional Chinese engineering and the historical importance of waterway transportation in regional development and commerce.

Located in Tangqi Ancient Town within Hangzhou's Yuhang district, the bridge remains accessible to pedestrians via 80 stone steps and can be visited during daylight hours.

As the only remaining seven-arch stone bridge along the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it holds exceptional architectural significance in Chinese bridge construction history.
