    Since 1750, during Emperor Gianlong's reign, this 150-meter-long bridge has connected the eastern shore and the South Sea island. It is the longest bridge in all Chinese imperial gardens and was built with seventeen arches. Over 500 stone lions in various poses were carved on the posts of the bridge's railings, four strange animals were carved at the bot ends of the bridge, strong and powerful, they are outstanding senples of the Oing Dynasty's stone carving skills.
