Bai Juyi once wrote such a poem, "Green waves of water from east to west, north and south, and three hundred and ninety bridges with red rails." As a typical city in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou is famous for its many rivers and bridges. , known as: Venice of the East. Wumen Bridge is one of the most unique bridges in Suzhou.

Wumen Bridge was built in the Song Dynasty. It was originally called Shiqiao because it was funded by a man named Shi.

Later, it was rebuilt by the prefect of Suzhou during the Ming Dynasty. After several repairs, it has been well preserved and became the ancient bridge we see today. Wumen Yanshui is also one of the three scenic spots in Panmen.

Wumen Bridge is an ancient bridge in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China. It is also the tallest existing ancient bridge in Suzhou City. Under the bridge is the endless Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The bridge is more than 66 meters long, 5 meters wide and about 10 meters high. It is the largest single-hole stone bridge in Jiangsu Province. The Wumen Bridge is tall and majestic, and is integrated with the nearby Ruiguang Ancient Tower and the Ancient Water and Land Panmen. The ancient canal flows eastward, and the shadows of boats and sails are constantly coming and going. It is an important cultural relics and historic site tourist area in the southwest of Suzhou City. Standing on the bridge, you can see the intertwined water network, boats and ships, towering city towers, shining ancient pagodas, and a panoramic view of distant mountains and near water.

It is said that in the old days, among the many bridges in Suzhou, Wumen Bridge was the only one where it was possible to sail without having to drop your awning. Wumen Bridge is now not only an important thoroughfare on the ancient canal, but also an important tourist attraction in Suzhou. Together with Panmen Water and Land Ancient City Gate and Ruiguang Pagoda, it has formed a scenic tourist attraction in the southwest of Suzhou City. In recent years, many Chinese and foreign tourists who come to Suzhou hope to drive there to enjoy the splendor of the "Three Scenic Spots of Panmen". Suzhou people say that Panmen has three sceneries: Panmen, Wumen Bridge and Ruiguang Tower. Wumen Bridge is the tallest single-hole stone bridge in Suzhou. It looks a bit like the Yudai Bridge (commonly known as Luoguo Bridge) in the Summer Palace in Beijing. The bridge is high and bulging, like a rainbow over the river after the rain. Because the river under the bridge connects to the water gate, it is an important waterway for water transportation and provides unobstructed passage for passing ships, so the bridge hole is quite high and wide. The current bridge was rebuilt during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is simple and elegant, retaining the style of that year.
