In the old society, ships entering and leaving Yizheng had to pass under the bridge. The arch of the bridge, which is surrounded by a huge blue plate, is made of bronze granite, with 50 steps up and down, each of which is 6m long, 70cm wide and15cm high. There is a rest platform with a width of more than 2 meters at the top of the bridge. On the north side above the bridge, there are many 7-story small tile gate towers. The existence of houses on the bridge adds to the visual feeling of the bridge, and its architectural style is rare among many stone arch bridges in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Climb to the top of the bridge and look south. In the distance, there are towering Nanshan, Tao Tao Yangtze River, endless reeds and endless oases. Nearby rivers and harbors are densely covered, hundreds of people are fighting for the flow, smoke is everywhere, and pastoral songs are bursting. Everything is like a silent poem and a three-dimensional painting. Here you can enjoy the quietness of the small bridge, but when you look back at things, you feel the noise of the downtown. The Metropolitan Bridge connects the three streets of Chengnan Chamber of Commerce, Metropolis and Hexi, forming a well-known pier, which is a land and water hub. Businessmen gather here, and old shops, teahouses, baths and theaters abound. The so-called "Shanghai Shiliupu, Yizheng Wharf".
