Gongyu Bridge is located in the north of Daguan Bridge in the urban area of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It is connected to Lishui Road and Taizhou Road in the east, and to the Xiaonong Road in the west. It is the tallest and longest stone arch bridge in the ancient bridge of Hangzhou. The Arch Bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty for four years. At that time, people wished Huafeng and raised funds to build bridges. In the eight years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the bridge collapsed. In the 53rd year of Emperor Kangxi, Duan Zhixi advocated and made a donation by Buzheng. The Huiyun monk of Linyun Temple tried his best to raise donations and helped the four-year-old build the present arch bridge. The bridge is 98 meters long and 16 meters high. The middle section of the bridge is slightly narrower at 5.9 meters wide, while the bridges at both ends are 12.2 meters wide.

The 98-meter-long arch bridge on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the symbol of Hangzhou City. When you arrive at the Arch Bridge, it means entering Hangzhou. This bridge is currently the largest and highest ancient bridge in Hangzhou. It was built in the Ming Dynasty (1631) and rebuilt in the 11th year of Qing Guangxu (1888). The west side of the Gonghang Bridge of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is an open leisure area, which is quaint and continues the prosperity of hundreds of years. The east bank of the canal is an industrial area, which is also the earliest national industrial origin in Zhejiang. In 1895, after the signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was humiliating and humiliating the country, Hangzhou was listed as a trading port, and Hangzhou also produced the only concession area. A hundred years ago, on the banks of the Grand Canal, tea gardens were everywhere, and famous monks from all over the country gathered at the Gongzhu Bridge. The Gongyu Bridge is a famous performing arts center in the country. 1901, 14-year-old Zhang Yingjie came to Hangzhou to rent a banquet in the Japanese concession, because he sang old people, the old man at that time is Tan Rutian (Xin Pei) has the highest reputation. Zhang Yingjie is young and strong, named after the name, began to hang this famous brand at the door of Tianxian Tea Garden. This is also the origin of Hangzhou's industrial prosperity. The first railway in Zhejiang, Jiangshu Railway, was opened near the Gongyu Bridge. The first national industrial enterprise in Zhejiang, Tongyi Gong Yarn Factory, was founded, and the first theater in Hangzhou was born. The first cinema, the first newspaper.

Arch Bridge is a symbol of the prosperous town in the North of Hangzhou. It became an important figure in modernization in Hangzhou from 1895 to 1945. Residents that live in Arch Bridge have a rich cultural life. For example, the temples, theatres, cinemas, newspapers and domesticated animals have greatly enriched their lives.  During the Republic of China, the development of the Gongyu Bridge changed a little. In terms of architecture, the house has changed from a traditional Chinese house, to a rich and varied “World Architecture Exhibition.” On the commercial side, due to geographical disadvantages and a malformation of the bridge, the Japanese eventually gave up on their development and the business entered a state of decline.
