The Guanyin Bridge (simplified Chinese: 观音桥; traditional Chinese: 觀音橋; pinyin: Guānyīn Qiáo) is a stone arch bridge located on the southern Mount Lu, in Lushan, Jiangxi, China. It was built in 1014 during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song dynasty (960–1279). It is one of the earliest existing stone arch bridges in China.[1]
