About Anshun Bridge

Located in Chengdu, the Anshun Bridge crosses the tranquil Jin river and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city. Originally built in the 13th century, the bridge was destroyed by floods, rebuilt in 2003 and now houses a large restaurant where foodies can taste the spicy local cuisine.
