Bridge Within a Bridge (Tongji Bridge and Renji Bridge)   (Wuzhen)
0 /0  Users recommend

On the northwest side of Wuzhen, the old Tongji Bridge (Tōngjì Qiáo, 白莲寺塔) and Renji Bridge (Rénjì Qiáo, 仁济桥), pictured, sit at right angles to one another crossing, respectively, the Wangjin River (Wàngjīn Hé, 望津河) and Xishi River (Xīshì Hé, 西市河).

When viewed from the side of either bridge, they appear to be one beneath the other, a view compared to the crescent moon's reflection in a well. Known as "Bridge Within a Bridge" (Qiáo Lǐ Qiáo, 桥里桥), this sight is one of Wuzhen's better known scenic spots.

If that proves a little too abstract for some, the views from either bridge still give a picturesque look down the rivers of Wuzhen, taking in the nearby Wenchang Pavilion (Wénchāng Gé, 文昌阁), White Lotus Pagoda (Báilián Sì Tǎ, 白莲寺塔) and the Grand Canal.
