Xuanjin Bridge

The Xuanjin Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge over the moat of the Ming Palace in Qinhuai District, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

History

Xuanjin Bridge was originally built between 1368 and 1398 during the Hongwu Emperor's reign of the Ming dynasty. The bridge is long and wide with three arches. In the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty, due to the naming taboo of "Xuan", its name was changed to "Yuanjin Bridge".
In December 2011, it was classified as a provincial cultural relic preservation organ by the Government of Jiangsu.
