Zhuangyuan Bridge is located in Guiyang Town, Qidong County, Hengyang City. It is a five-hole stone arch bridge with a length of 86. 1 m and a height of 9 meters. The bridge deck is 7.95 meters wide. It is paved with bluestone slabs and enters Xiangjiang River through the confluence of Baihe River. On both sides, there are 20 long stone pillars, 24 bridge pavilions, and a bridge deck connected to each other. The structure is firm and the shape is generous. There is a fairy plaque in the middle of the bridge pavilion, and there are a pair of stone lions at the bridge head, which are mighty and magnificent.

Legend has it that when the stone bridge was completed, a new champion happened to pass by here. At that time, there were a sea of people at both ends of the bridge, and the bridge-building engineer planned to take the top prize and let him get the right pair before he could pass. Masons' bridge has just been closed, so from now on, we must sing poems against it, feel something and make a difference? The champion hesitated for a moment, readily said that he was a junior, and then became an official, serving the country and the people, not seeking fame and fortune. The elders need not worry. Everyone calls it wonderful, so it is named Zhuangyuan Bridge, and there is a stone tablet at the southern end of Zhuangyuan Bridge.
