The Anshun Bridge (Chinese: 安顺桥; lit. 'Bridge of the Peaceful and Fluent') is a bridge in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. It crosses the Jin River. The covered bridge contains a relatively large restaurant and is a popular eating location in the city.

History

In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote about several bridges in China, and the Anshun Bridge (an earlier version of it) was one of them.[1][2]

Anshun Bridge, also named Changhong Bridge (长虹桥) at that time, was renovated in 1677. It connected Da'an Street to Wannianqiao Street, spanning the Jinjiang River with a two-level wooden structure: the upper level housed deity statues, while the lower level provided a pathway for pedestrians and goods transporters. The bridge was reconstructed multiple times after being destroyed by floods, including major rebuilds in 1744 and 1746.[3]

In 1949, after the Communist takeover of Chengdu, the newly established Chengdu Municipal People's Government rebuilt the bridge at the eastern end of Taiping Upper Street as a simpler one-level wooden structure for pedestrian use. Another reconstruction in 1974 resulted in a new bridge completed in 1978, but it collapsed during a flood in 1981. To meet the city's growing transportation needs, the Chengdu municipal government built a vehicle-accessible "New Anshun Bridge" in 1978 at Shierbei Street.[3]

As part of the Fu'nan River restoration project in 1996, the Chengdu Municipal People's Government dismantled the damaged old bridge and commissioned a redesign to create a three-arch replica incorporating historical and commercial features. This project led to the renaming of the old structure as "Anshun Langqiao" (安顺廊桥), combining bridge and building elements with cultural and tourism functions. Construction began in 2000 and was completed in August 2003, as part of the municipal government's initiative to preserving the city's heritage while adapting to modern urban needs.[3][4]

Polo, Chapter XLIV: Concerning the Province and City of Sindafu. See Henry Yule; Henri Cordier (translators and editors), us now speak of a great Bridge which crosses this River within the city. This bridge is of stone; it is seven paces in width and half a mile in length (the river being that much in width as I told you); and all along its length on either side there are columns of marble to bear the roof, for the bridge is roofed over from end to end with timber, and that all richly painted. And on this bridge there are houses in which a great deal of trade and industry is carried on. But these houses are all of wood merely, and they are put up in the morning and taken down in the evening. Also there stands upon the bridge the Great Kaan's _Comercque_, that is to say, his custom-house, where his toll and tax are levied."
