The Fiver-Pavilion Bridge, built over the center of the Slender West Lake, has five pavilions on it , hence its name. On account of it's building on the stem of lotus flower, it was also named the Bridge of the Lotus Flower.

This combination of bridge with pavilions is said to be one of the historical legacies of China's ancient bridge buildings, also a typical architecture with a nice integration of the southern style in this field with the northern one.

These pavilions are splendid and imposing with colored caisson ceilings. The bridge group is composed of 12 different piers built up of large bluestones.
55.3 meters long, the bridge is curved, and has 15 arches. When it is full moon, people can find a moon on water through each arch, which makes Yangzhou even more fascinating.
