Walked about 15-20 minutes from Orange Hotel. Admission ticket CNY20 No re-entry, so think twice before exit. Am attracted by it's 过河拆桥 and the night view photos from Google, and it is one of the top places to be visited in Guangdong in China. It is known as Xiangzi Bridge 湘子桥. It is one of the Four Ancient Bridges 中国四大古桥 in China, which are Luoyang Bridge in Huian country, Lugou Bridge in Beijing, and Zhaozhou Bridge in Zhao Country. There are 30 bridge pavilions which are built on the piers of the bridge In the middle of Guangji Bridge is a pontoon bridge consisting of eighteen shuttle boats. Walking on the pontoon bridge, you can have a special experience. Due to the need for navigation, the pontoon bridge is put aside at around 17:30 every day so that the cargo ships can pass through. If you happen to pass by at this time, you can also enjoy the amazing view of “removing bridge to cross river”, 过河拆桥

Guangji Bridge built in the 12th century during the Southern Dong Dynasty is one of the 4 ancient stone-arch bridges in China. A masterpiece of Chinese architecture and engineering, the drawbridge of boats opens up after 5 pm to allow other boats to pass through. Strongly suggest to catch its 2 different sights in the day when the bridge connects the Han River and after sunset. The 8 pm light show enhances its beauty with illumination glow and a dazzling lights show. We enjoyed the soothing river breeze and were lucky to view the full moon on 15th lunar day brightening the sky. Do come earlier for a good spot to watch the laser performance. Also photo shoot the magical Guangji Gate Tower built on top of the ancient walls.

This is the "must visit" place in Chaozhou! In order to cross the "sea" (or rather the lake), you will have to step through a row of 18 boats (out of 24) tying together and it can be shaky especially when many people are walking through the boats as they are floating! But the scenery there is superb, very nice and windy and you will get to see historical displays and exhibits along the way with nice architectural roofs and door frames dating back to centuries ago. And if you come at night (at 8pm), you will be able to see the nice and colourful lighting shows, awesome! At this point of time, the boats have been "removed" and left with the two main bridges that will not be linked together!

Nice tourist attraction. The bridge is (sort of) useless as it is for pedestrians only and has a ¥40 fee for getting on it. To get to the other side it is cheaper and faster to get on a bus to the other side. The bridge is brand new, there is not even moss or algae at the waterline, the white stone pavement is not stained and even the loudspeakers that give messages to the Chinese and play music only a tone-deaf can enjoy are working. Of course, like all such structures, it claims to be...
