Kaitai Bridge was originally built between 1572 and 1620 during the Wanli era of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), but because of war and natural disasters has been rebuilt numerous times since then.^[1] In December 2011, it has been inscribed as a provincial-level cultural heritage site by the Government of Jiangsu.^[2]
