According to legend, Laihe bridge was built by rural farmers to raise money. Shen Luzhen, a famous doctor, was the main donor. When the bridge was built, somehow, the stone beam was short. Just when the craftsmen were desperate, a crane flew in and asked Shen Luzhen to borrow a magic needle (Shen Luzhen is good at acupuncture. It's said that he had a magic needle to help him). He pricked a needle on the stone beam, but the stone beam stretched and just put it on the shelf. Laihe bridge was demolished and built in 1972 and changed into a cement bridge.
