The Huixian Bronze Bridge spans the Huixian River in Huixian Town, Lingui District, Guilin, South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autono¬mous Region. Despite its name, the bridge is made entirely of stone and features a single arch. Its exact construction date has not been established, but it is widely believed to date back to the Qing Dynasty, making it several hundred years old. The bridge is 23.8 meters long and 5.2 meters wide, with its deck standing 3.5 meters above the water. The Huixian River, which runs for about 22 kilometers, is a tributary of the West Channel of the ancient Guilin-Liuzhou Canal. Built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the ancient canal is often mentioned alongside the Lingqu Canal in accounts of China's historic waterways. (Photos: Cui Meng/GT)
