Chen Gong Bridge Yess
Looking out from my room on the 23rd floor, the big river in front of me was really the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Busy waterway transportation
The cultural plaza by the river was crowded with people, and the music of several square dance plazas mingled together. It sounds chaotic and loud from high above. There is a bridge across the canal by the river. On the river north of the bridge, a long row of barges, head to tail, full of money, were preparing to enter Hangzhou. Suddenly, an image flashed through my mind. Before nightfall, there were long lines of heavy trucks preparing to enter urban construction sites at suburban intersections in every city.
At that time, I didn't know the bridge was the Chen Gong Bridge.
Before going to bed, I read the reading book given by the hotel, - the literary life reading book "Gongchen". So, I think that bridge should be Chen Gong Bridge.
The next day, I got up early in the morning to do morning exercises, and went to the canal to verify my guess in the field.

On the east bank of Chen Gong Bridge is the Grand Canal Cultural Square.
On the Chengong Bridge, the deck is paved with stone slabs, and three walkways, a ramp in the center and stone steps on both sides, are drawn vertically and evenly. People come and go every day, the stone slabs are stepped on a little smooth. Up to the height of Chen Gong Bridge, the stone bridge fence is very low, not as high as an adult's knee. There are a few old people taking a nap by the bridge, vegetable baskets at their feet, whispering about their parents' shortcomings. They should be resting after a trip to the food market.
Under the Chenggong Bridge, boats come and go, busy and tense.

Walking across the bridge, I realized that the west bank of the Chen Gong Bridge had a completely different landscape from the east bank. High-rise buildings stood on the east bank, while low-rise buildings guarded the west bank. The former warehouse of a state-run cotton textile factory has been transformed into a museum of Chinese knives, scissors, swords and fans and a handicrafts experience center. The wharf at the water's edge has a shadow of the past. Walking around the hutongs, I was surprised to find that the courtyard houses, the alleys of the Republic of China, the simple public houses of the 1950s and 1960s, and the characteristic silos of the 1980s are preserved here. It has become a museum of modern Chinese houses.

There is a Zhang Temple at the head of the bridge on the west bank. It is not a big temple, but the name "Zhang Da Renzhen", which was conferred by the Guangxu Emperor, is very famous.
