What is the origin of Guanyin Bridge in Chongqing?

According to documents, a temple named Kannonji was built near Guanyin Bridge in the middle of Jiangbei District at the end of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty.

Two stone bridges were built near the temple. According to the word "Guanyin" in Kannonji and the word "Bridge" in Shiqiao, it was named Guanyin Bridge.

Since the 1970s, due to municipal construction, bridges have been destroyed and temples have been demolished, but their place names are still in use today.

Guanyin Bridge generally refers to the area near the intersection of Jianxin East Road, Jianxin South Road, Jianxin West Road and Jianxin North Road. It used to be a small rural market with only a small street and a few residents.

1966, after the completion of Jialing River Bridge, Guanyin Bridge developed into a prosperous area and became a business center in this area.

An old man who grew up in Guanyin Bridge talked about the detailed terrain in front of Guanyin Bridge.

Now the area from Sunshine City to Ocean Park is a small river ditch, and Yanghe Stadium is a reservoir.

Near Sunshine City, there is a stone bridge, beside which a land bodhisattva is enshrined.
