A bit of history
Originally built in the Song dynasty (960–1279), the current bridge was rebuilt in 1749 during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty. It was formerly known as Huozhu Bridge. In August 2002, it was inscribed as a municipal cultural relic preservation organ by the Government of Shaoxing.
