The Anshun Bridge (Chinese: 安顺桥; lit. 'Peaceful and Fluent') is a bridge in the provincial capital of ChengduinSichuan, China. It crosses the Jin River. The covered bridge contains a relatively large restaurant and is a popular eating location in the city.
The original Anshun Bridge was constructed in 1746 by Lingan Hongdui along the Jin River. In 1947, a flood ravaged the city and destroyed the original bridge.[citation needed]
The bridge was constructed in 2003 as a replacement of the old bridge which was destroyed by a flood in the 1980s.[1]
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.[2][3]
