A comparison of an ancient stone bridge before and after renovation in the Poyang Lake in Duchang County, East China’s Jiangxi Province. The ancient bridge constructed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was once a popular thoroughfare for people living by China's largest freshwater lake. Made from granite, measuring more than 2,900 meters, the structure was known as 'thousand-eye bridge' because it had about 1,000 holes. Now it only appears after water dries up. The bridge has finished its first major renovation soon. (Photo: China News Service/Fu Jianbin)
