Zhaozhou Bridge,
located 40km (25 miles) southwest of
Shijiazhuang, was built between 596-605AD by
the stonemason Li Chun. The bridge is one of
the oldest stone arch bridges in China. The
bridge spans the Jiao River and is 50 meters
(164ft) long and 10 meters (33ft) wide. The
balustrades are beautifully decorated with
dragons and other mythical creatures.
Zhaozhou Bridge is remarkable more because
it has survived the centuries rather than
for its beauty.
