The Xinfang Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge over the Shi River in Tianning District of Changzhou, Jiangsu, China. The bridge measures long, wide, and approximately high.[1]
The original bridge dates back to 535, during the Liang dynasty (502–557), and underwent three renovations, respectively in the Huangqing period of the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), in the 11th year of the Hongzhi period of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), and in 1986.[1] [2] In December 2011, it has been authorized as a provincial-level cultural heritage site by the Government of Jiangsu.[1]
