Guangji Bridge, also known as Xiangzi Bridge, is located next to the ancient city of Chaozhou, one of the four ancient bridges in China. It is also a national AAAA-level area. The floating wood in the middle of the stone bridge is connected. I heard that it is the earliest open bridge in the world.
Guangji Bridge needs to go once every day and night, and it feels different. During the day, you can walk the bridge and connect the wooden boat across the two sides. At night, the wooden boat moves away from the sea passage and looks at the broken building lights on the shore.
El puente Guangji (廣濟橋), construido en el 1.171, es uno de los cuatro puentes antiguos más famosos del país. En una misma estructura sobre el río Han, Guangji combina pontones sobre barcas, puente sobre arcos y puente sobre vigas. Sobre el mismo, hay 30 pabellones y muelles para barcos. En total, el puente Guanji cuenta con 18 partes diferentes en 518 metros, algunas de ellas fácilmente desmontables. Cada día, a las 5:30 de la tarde,, se retiran los pontones para permitir el tráfico de barcos y no se vuelven a colocar hasta las 10 de la mañana del día siguiente.
Guangji Bridge, also known as Xiangzi Bridge, is an important historical tourist attraction in Chaozhou City, is a must-see place for passengers, and the light show at night is not to be missed.
Guangji Bridge is very beautiful, I really didn't expect Chaozhou to have such a beautiful place, the night view is amazing! The light show is worth seeing
Next to the archway street of Guangji Bridge, each one has its own characteristics. It is more beautiful and attractive after the lights are on at night. Super recommended.
