Fengqiao (枫桥) - The Poet's Riverside Town of Tang Dynasty Dreams

#discoverchina

Location: Gusu District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China

A 1,400-year-old landmark along the Grand Canal, Fengqiao(Maple Bridge) is immortalized by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji's poem "Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night" (《枫桥夜泊》). This stone arch bridge and its surroundings—a time-worn temple bell, ancient waterways, and cobbled lanes—epitomize classical Jiangnan charm.
