Home: Lugou Bridge
Lugou Bridge is located 15 km southwest of the Beijing city across the Yongding River. It is the earliest segmented stone arch bridge of Beijing. The bridge is known in Europe as the Marco Polo Bridge, because it was highly praised by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo. For the Lugou Bridge incident, the Lugou Bridge marked the beginning of China's Resistance War Against Japan (1937-1945).

The original Lugou Bridge was built in 1192 during the Jin Dynasty and was reconstructed in 1698. The bridge is 266.5 meters long, 9.3 meters wide. It is made of huge granite blocks, with about 501 carved stone lions crouched along the railings on both sides.
