Bridge within a Bridge
The "Bridge within a Bridge" is a scenic attraction created by two ancient bridges, the Tongji Bridge which crosses the river from east to west and the Renji Bridge running from south to north that joins the former at one end. Either of two bridges can be seen through the arch of the other, hence the name. Having been rebuilt five times, Tongji Bridge is a 28.4 مترs (93 قدم) and 3.5 مترs (11 قدم) one-curvature arch bridge, with a span of 11.8 مترs (39 قدم). Renji Bridge, which has also undergone repairs during its history, has a length of 22.6 مترs (74 قدم), a width of 2.8 مترs (9.2 قدم) and a span of 8.5 مترs (28 قدم).
