Introduction to Qingming Bridge: Qingming Bridge is the representative landscape of the entire scenic spot. It was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It was built with donations from the two sons of Qin Yao, the owner of "Jichang Garden" in Wuxi. Since the brothers' names are Taiqing and Taining respectively, they were each named "Qingning Bridge". The ancient bridge was rebuilt by Wu Xingzuo, the magistrate of Wuxi County, in the eighth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1666 AD). During the Daoguang period, it was renamed Qingming Bridge because Emperor Daoguang's name Minning was tabooed. Some people also call it "Qingming Bridge".
