Wu Ting Bridge is not only a symbol of Slender West Lake, but also a symbol of Yangzhou city. It was built in the twenty-two years of Qing Qianlong, and has a history of more than 200 years. The pier of Wu Ting Bridge is made of 12 bluestone, which forms a heavy and powerful I-shaped bridge foundation. There are five wind pavilions with southern characteristics built on the bridge. Every full moon night, there is a moon in every cave of the fifteen bridge opening under the Wu Ting Bridge.

"Twenty-four Bridges" comes from a poem by Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, "The green hills are covered with water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is withered in autumn; On the moonlit night of the 24th Bridge, where can jade people teach to blow Xiao? "

The Twenty-four Bridge consists of a descending sail plank road, a single arch bridge, a zigzag bridge and a blowing pavilion. The Jade Belt Arch Bridge in the middle is 24 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. There are 24 steps on the upper and lower sides of the bridge, surrounded by 24 white jade railings and 24 railings. Up to now, there are different opinions about which bridge the Twenty-four Bridge refers to.

Dahongqiao "Yangzhou is good, the first is Hongqiao." The famous Hongqiao in Yangzhou's history, with its beautiful scenery, has attracted many literati to give directions here. During the Kangxi period, Wang Yuyang wrote a poem: "The red bridge flies, and the nine curved railings are red; After painting the bridge in the afternoon, Yi Xiang's figure hurried by. "It is even more popular. Even Emperor Qianlong once wrote poems to appreciate the scenery of Hongqiao.

According to the legend of Baita, 1784, Emperor Qianlong visited Yangzhou Slender West Lake by boat for the sixth time. Seeing the scenery around the Wu Ting Bridge from the water, I can't help but say with regret: "It's a pity that there is a white tower missing, otherwise it looks like the spring sound of Qiongdao in the North Sea." The speaker didn't care to listen, and Yangzhou salt merchants with deep pockets immediately spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy the pattern of Beihai White Pagoda with eunuchs. That night, they piled white towers with white salt packets all night. This is the story of "building a tower in one night" that has been handed down in Yangzhou so far.
