Fangsheng Bridge

Spanning the Dianpu River in the historic heart of Zhujiajiao, Fangsheng Bridge - meaning "Bridge of Life Liberation" - is far more than just a crossing. This 700-year-old structure symbolizes both Buddhist compassion and Ming Dynasty engineering brilliance. Built in 1571 during Emperor Longqing`s reign, this five-arched stone bridge remains the largest and oldest among Shanghai`s water towns, measuring 72 meters long and 5.8 meters wide.
