Zhaoxian County, located in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, is 50 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang City by car. The traffic is inconvenient. It is recommended to drive by oneself. To be fair, the small environment of Zhaozhou Bridge is well built. It crosses the river and forms a very comfortable small park around it. The bridge was built in the Sui Dynasty and was made of stone. The builder, Li Chun, was also a famous craftsman at that time. Zhaozhou Bridge, 1400 years ago, is the earliest and most complete single-span open-shoulder stone arch bridge preserved so far. I learned it in textbooks when I was a child, and I was deeply impressed. It belongs to one of the places that I must go to in my life.

    Today I finally came to the Zhaozhou Bridge mentioned in the primary school textbook. I thought that although it was free, it was relatively remote and there was nothing to see except the bridge. There were not many people. As a result, there were many people in Wuyang Wuyang. There are many special snacks on both sides of the road, such as Sydney juice, donkey meat dumplings, honey cakes and so on. In fact, only the bridge in this scenic spot is a point of view, and the rest are all artificially built. Strictly speaking, 70% of the bridge is also new. As a foreign tourist, the price is actually very low, but the locals are more convenient. Zhaozhou Bridge has a history of more than 1400 years and is worth seeing.

    A "Zhaozhou Bridge" from primary school Chinese textbooks, making this millennium bridge famous. More than 30 years later, this famous work from Mr. Mao Yisheng is still excerpted in the textbooks, this ancient bridge has become a famous attraction in Zhao County, so that tourists from the country flock to it. First commented: 1. The ancient bridge is here, the world is invincible. The spirit of Chinese craftsmen is reflected in the Zhaozhou Bridge. Even if the millennium has passed, it is still a treasure and a crystal of wisdom! The park built with the ancient bridge as the center has beautified the surrounding environment and brought the rural economy. Overall, it is a good thing. 2. There are two exhibition halls around the ancient bridge, one is the ancient bridge exhibition hall, the other is the Zhaozhou bridge science and technology museum (including Mao Yisheng special exhibition), although relatively old, but the theme is prominent, China's ancient bridge history and characteristics of professional, comprehensive analysis, is a good learning opportunity. Besides the shortcomings: 1. The tickets for attractions are inflated. After all, it is just a bridge + 2 small and dilapidated exhibition halls. It is quite expensive for adults to charge 60 yuan for tickets. Local tourism development, you can't operate with the mentality of "only come once in a lifetime, it's worth cutting your neck blood." 2. The surrounding planning needs to be improved. From the ticket office to the entrance of the attraction, there is a pedestrian road, all small vendors are selling specialties, motor vehicles, electric vehicles, pedestrians do not separate, there are safety hazards, and it is not standardized enough. TIPS: National Day crowds are not too much, usually there are fewer people, there is a parking lot, and the joint ticket can visit 2 pavilions.

    The bridge designed and built by Li Chun back then has now become a template for bridge architecture in China and even the world. It has been amazing after the storm and the vicissitudes of years and is still as strong as ever. It is a little regrettable that there are many vendors outside the scenic spot, and the management chaos needs to be rectified.
