The Wanning Bridge is located in the middle of Di'anmen Quter Street on the east side of Shichahai Lake and spanning the Yuhe River. lts location has remained the same since the Yuan dynasty. The Wanning Bridge is a single arch stone bridge. lt comprises the bridge, yanchi slabs, the Water-harnessing Beasts, and the Chengqing upper watergate remains. There are 16 balusters on either side of the Wanning Bridge. Each baluster is 1.6 meters tall, with a square-shaped body and a pomegranate-shaped capital. A carved stone panel fills the void between each baluster. On the yanchi slabs sits the Water-harnessing Beasts, allegedly one of the nine sons of the Dragon King named baxia. They symbolize the wish to contain the water and prevent it from overflowing the banks.
The Wanning Bridge has been vital for north-south traffic since its construction in the Yuan dynasty. lt is an important bridge connecting the city's north -south traffic, and the intersection between the Yuhe River and the Shichahai Lake area, where Beijing Central Axis joins the Grand Canal. The Wanning Bridge was first buit using wood during the Zhiyuan reign ofthe Yuan dynasty (1264-1294) on the east side ofthe Jishuitan Lake (the presentday Shichahai Lake). Later, it was rebuit with stones, with the Chengging Water Gate added to the west of the bidge to adjustthe water level of the Grand Canal forthepassage of boats and ships for grain transporting. In 1924, the longitudinal slope ofthe bridge was lowered to buld a tramway on Dranmen Outer Street. In 1952. the river was culverted, and the bridge was buried. During an archeological excavation of the Yuhe River in 2000, the bridge was repaired, while the revetments wererestored and the river was dredged. lt is an important bridge connecting the city's north -south traffic.

The Wanning Bridge 万宁桥
万宁桥位于什刹海东侧地安门街中段,横跨御河,其位置自元代以来一直保持不变。万宁桥为单孔石拱桥,由桥身、雁翅石板、驭水兽和承庆上水门遗址组成。万宁桥两侧各有16根栏杆,每根栏杆高1.6米,方形栏杆,柱头呈石榴形。栏杆之间有一块雕花石板。雁翅石板上坐着驭水兽,相传是龙王八下九子之一,象征着控制水流、防止水漫过两岸的愿望。
万宁桥自元代建造以来,一直是南北交通要道,是连接京城南北交通的重要桥梁,也是御河与什刹海地区的交汇点,是北京中轴线与大运河的交汇点。万宁桥始建于元至元年间(1264-1294年),位于积水潭(今什刹海)东侧,为木结构。后改石砌桥,并在桥西增建澄江水闸,以调节大运河水位,供漕运船只通行。1924年,降低桥面纵坡,在大运河外街修建电车轨道。1952年,河道改建为涵洞,桥梁掩埋。 2000年御河考古发掘中,对该桥进行了修复,恢复了护岸,疏浚了河道,是连接市区南北交通的重要桥梁。
