Built from 1751 to 1764 out of blue stone and white marble, this bridge has a thin and high curved arch just like a jade belt. The ornate bridge railings are decorated with carvings of cranes and other animals. The clearance of the arch was chosen to accommodate the dragon boat of Qianlong Emperor.

The Jade Belt Bridge is one of the bridges linking the West Dyke. The bridge is made of white marble and granite with a thin high-arched body resembling a jade belt.
Emperor Qianlong used to pass this point when he went from Kunming Lake to Jade Fountain Hill by water.

I guess I am throwing this in among the tips more as an inspiration than an acctual tip as I don't have much to say about it.
But it is a fine looking bridge.
