Huaqiao is one of the famous ancient buildings in Guilin. It was first built in Jiaxi period of Southern Song Dynasty, so its initial name is "Jiaxi Bridge". Because of the towering boulder "Tianzhu" on the east side of the bridge, people call it "Tianzhu Bridge". At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the bridge was washed down by flood. In the seventh year of Jingtai Ming Dynasty (1456), He Yongquan, the Zhifu of Guilin, built a wooden bridge on the original bridge foundation. In the nineteenth year of Jiajing (1540), Xu Shi, Princess of Ansu in Jingjiang, was rebuilt as the existing four-hole stone bridge, and 6 archs of the drought bridge were added to strengthen flood discharge measures. The bridge is divided into two parts: the east section is a water bridge, 60 meters long, 6.3 meters wide and 8 meters high; the west section is a dry bridge, 65.20 meters long. In 1965, seven new holes were added. Usually, the two rivers flow slowly from the water bridge to the south, while floods are discharged from the dry bridge in flood season.
