Zhou Bridge

Established in 1329, Zhou Bridge, the oldest of the three bridges, is a three-hole stone arch one with a length of 16.2 meters.

There are embossments and stone nails adorning the bridge body and two Chinese characters meaning safety and happiness engraved on the center of one side of the bridge.

Since the city's ancient government department stood on the opposite of the bridge and Zhou means state in Chinese, local residents call it Zhou Bridge.
