It was all built with white stone, with a length of more than 500 meters and 72 holes. According to historical records, at that time, Chuihong bridge had three ups and downs, with a ring like a half moon and a length like a Chuihong, so it got its name. The bridge hole is higher than the general bridge hole, which is convenient for boating and flood discharge. There are two pavilions on each side of the bridge, and four stone lions.

The north and south of the Yangtze River are connected with the earth, and people come and go across the Tianhe river. Dragon waist support cloud fishing boat, Ao back high Chi Sima. On the bridge, the Castle Peak Bridge goes into the water. "It's like thunder coming out of a hill. There is another song: "crossing the middle stream, leaning on the painted bridge, the rainbow is far away. With the end of the autumn moon, heart with Lake wave day and night. "Elegant and romantic, more poets and poets vie to chant. When the bright moon is in the sky, the Chuihong bridge is shrouded in the night, which has a unique artistic conception: "the water under the Chuihong bridge is clear in autumn, and the Chuihong Pavilion is bright at the beginning of last month.
