Until 1905, Anping Bridge was the longest bridge in China.
Anhai was formerly known as Anping, from which comes the bridges name.

The bridge was built between 1138 and 1151 during the Southern Song dynasty.
The bridge has four square and two round stone pagodas standing symmetrically on each side.
The bridge also had five pavilions where travelers could rest, but only one pavilion now exist.
The bridge is now a nationally protected historic site.
The areas around the bridge are currently being developed into parks.
