Wan'an Floating Bridge is one of the three existing floating bridges in Pucheng (the other two are Guanqian Floating Bridge and Shuinan Floating Bridge)

This bridge uses boats as beams and was built in the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1392), which means it has a history of 617 years. According to historical records, a wooden bridge was originally built here. In the tenth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1805), in view of the lesson that bridges built here were repeatedly destroyed by floods, it was decided to rebuild a floating bridge. The floating bridge has been repaired many times and is still in use today. It is now 76 meters long and consists of 12 wooden boats arranged in a row and connected by two iron chains. If there is a flood, you can remove one side of the chain and let the boat move to the shore so that it will not be washed away. This bridge is the only way to connect to the Xianxia Ancient Road, which has been a battleground for military strategists since the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is an important land transportation line on the Maritime Silk Road and a poetry road paved with brilliant poems and essays. The Xianxia Ancient Road is the "Kukai Road" that the holy monk Kukai took to the north to the Tang capital Chang'an, and it is also the hometown of the famous tea green peony.
