Bridge Juidicial is located near the Palace of the emperors of the Qing dynasty, on the outskirts of Beijing. This amazing stone arch bridge, striking the imagination of tourists with its appearance, form and grace.
This bridge is the most famous of the six bridges that are on the West Bank Kunming, lake in Beijing. Difference – in special, very tall and thin arch, which is artfully executed in marble and stone. Bridges of this form is called "moon bridges" – because of the similarity of the arch shape with a Crescent. Such bridges are widely distributed in Japan and China due to its reliability and practicality – the unusual curvature of the bridge allows you to pass under them major high courts. I love the bridges are equipped with comfortable wide staircases, with steps and railings, so the transition over the bridge without any difficulty.
Bridge Juidicial has a second name "the Bridge of the jade belt". During its construction there were used different natural stones light shades, as well as marble blocks, heightening the resemblance to jade. The bridge railing is decorated with engravings depicting animals of China, as well as swans.
Built Juidicial in 1751-1764. Its high altitude is related to the fact that it had to pass the Imperial boat made in the shape of a dragon, with tail and head. Dragon boat is a very tall and big boat-canoe, in which about 20 places.
Imperial boat different from what she was as comfortable as possible for the monarch and his wife, and the rowers were the only skilled and elite, who are a kind selection. Canoeing the Emperor was used in cases when the family of the Emperor had a cruise on the river, with which the lake was connected to Kunming.
