Haitang Park has a single arch Qingshiqiao-Haitang Bridge with a length of 32 meters, a height of 8 meters and a width of 4 meters, which is an earth-rock structure and is rare in China. Every time it rains heavily, the Yujiang River will flood and flood the bridge, and the waves will be rough, but the bridge has been standing. Thanks to the ingenious application of designers and builders, Haitang Bridge has stood on the Yujiang River for more than 900 years.
