Built during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, it spans the lake. The original bridge was a wooden red fence, hence the name Hongqiao. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt into a stone bridge, like a rainbow lying on a wave, and was renamed Hongqiao. It has been converted into a 3-hole low-slope bluestone bridge with a width of 7.6 meters. The embankment is more than 600 meters long, with a peach for every three steps and a willow for every five steps. The peach and willow trees alternate with each other. Every spring in March, the spring flowers are blooming and colorful, and the willows are dancing like smoke. According to legend, Emperor Yang Guangwei of Yangzhou went to Yangzhou and ordered the digging of the North-South Grand Canal. After the river was excavated, Yu Shiqi, a Hanlin scholar, suggested planting willow trees on both sides of the river to provide shade and protect the embankments. The emperor planted a willow tree with his own hands and named it Yang. Later, people called it Liu Yang.
