Qingming Bridge is the representative landscape of the whole scenic area, which was built in the Ming and Wanli years. It was built by donations from the two sons of Qin Jun, the owner of "Jichangyuan" in Wuxi. Because the two brothers were named Taiqing and Taining respectively, they were named "Qingning Bridge". The ancient bridge was rebuilt by Wu Xingzuo, Wuxi County, in the eighth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1666 A.D.). During the period of Daoguang, the name of Emperor Daoguang was changed to Qingming Bridge because of the taboo of the name of Emperor Daoguang, and it was also called "Qingming Bridge".
