Why is Zhao Zhouqiao a precious historical heritage of our country?

Because Zhao Zhouqiao has a long history, perfect architecture, solid structure and beautiful shape, it is the earliest arched stone bridge in the world and the longest construction period. Its design shows the wisdom and talent of the working people. Designer Li Chun has an arch design on the bridge to reduce the influence of water on the bridge, which has been well preserved so far.

Zhao Zhouqiao was built in the Sui Dynasty from 595 to 605 A.D., which condensed the wisdom and crystallization of ancient working people and created a brand-new situation of bridge construction in China. About 700 years later, Europe built a similar stone arch bridge.

In the history of bridge construction, it is a treasure of bridge construction technology in the world and a precious historical heritage in China.
