Shangjin Bridge

Shangjin Bridge is a stone structure in Gusu District that spans a waterway with curved arches and stone railings. The design follows traditional construction methods from the region, with multiple sections supporting the crossing.

The bridge was built in ancient times to serve merchants and travelers crossing through Suzhou's water system. It remained a vital link for commerce and movement through the district for centuries after.

The bridge sits within Suzhou's water network where locals and visitors cross daily, and its presence shapes how people move through this historic district.

The bridge is accessible by public transportation, with several bus stops near the area for convenient access. Walking paths on both sides make it easy to explore the crossing from different angles.

The stones forming the structure contain carved symbols and patterns that preserve stories from the area's past. These details are easy to miss unless you stop to look closely at the surface.
