History

Guangxiang Bridge was originally built in the Eastern Jin (317–420), but because of war and natural disasters has been rebuilt numerous times since then. The present version was completed in 1982.[2]

On 6 May 2013, it was listed among the seventh batch of "Major National Historical and Cultural Sites in Zhejiang" by the State Council of China.[3]
