This bridge was the node of land transportation between the ancient city of Quanzhou and the southern bank of the Jinjiang River, the largest water network in Quanzhou. Built amid the rising maritime trade, it was the main access to the ancient commercial district in Quanzhou. The bridge strengthened the land transport links between the city of Quanzhou and the southern plains, hills and dock areas. It reflects the improvement of the transportation system thanks to the growth of commerce.
