That year, I walked across Anping Bridge, thinking I could grow old with you
Watching the sunset on Anping Bridge is truly breathtaking.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflects on the lake, brilliant and splendid, complemented by the simplicity and solidity of Anping Bridge. Honestly, watching the sunset 44 times in one day wouldn't be too much~
Anping Bridge, also known as the Five-Mile Bridge, was built during the Southern Song Dynasty. The construction took fourteen years, spanning the coastal Jinjiang Anhai and Nanan Shuitou in southern Fujian, all built with granite. It is the world's longest cross-sea beam stone bridge, the ancient stone bridge with the largest use of stone materials in the world, and also the only ancient stone bridge in the world that adopts three different types of piers on one long bridge due to different water conditions.
A local uncle on the bridge talked about it, saying that the bridge was the main thoroughfare of Anhai Bay in the past, with endless streams of merchants and celebrities, and monks and merchants worked together to build this long bridge out of goodwill and virtue.
Now, only a small section of the Five-Mile Bridge (Anhai section) is open, with an iron railing in the middle that has rusted, indicating that it has been closed for a long time, which is really a bit of a pity.
At that time, taking advantage of the evening breeze, walking the entire length of this bridge in the afterglow, I felt a sense of how beautiful the rest of my life could be

Anping Bridge is the longest beam stone bridge in the world in the middle ages, connecting Jinjiang and Nan'an, and the longest existing seaport Dashi Bridge in China. It is a masterpiece of ancient bridge architecture. Now it is partially closed for maintenance, and it can only take the Nan'an side. The slabs on the bridge are uneven and full of historical imprints.
The longest ancient stone bridge has now become a park. The surrounding scenery is not bad. It is being repaired when I go, and I can only walk halfway. There are local specialties in the surrounding area, frozen, fist mother, hahaha. . . .

On July 25, 2021, Quanzhou: Song Yuan China's World Ocean Commercial Center was considered and adopted by the 44th World Heritage Conference, and was successfully listed in the World Heritage List, becoming China's 56th World Heritage Site. Anping Bridge is one of 22 representative monuments and sites. Today, Anpingqiao Park is built, tree-lined, is a good place for Jinjiang citizens to relax, entertain, and escape the heat. I stand on the quaint stone bridge bricks, facing the sea breeze, and still feel the wisdom of the people of Quanzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty.
