Enbo Bridge
The Enbo Bridge (simplified Chinese: 恩波桥; traditional Chinese: 恩波橋; pinyin: Ēnbō Qiáo) is a historic stone arch bridge over the Xianpu River (苋浦江) in Fuchun Subdistrict, Fuyang District of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
History
The first known instance of the bridge being documented appeared in the Song dynasty (907–1279). It was rebuilt as a stone bridge by magistrate Shi Yangde (施阳得) in 1565 during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). In August 1997, it has been inscribed as a provincial-level cultural heritage site by the Government of Zhejiang.
