Shanghai has several world-class bridges spanning the Huangpu River, such as Yangpu Bridge, Nanpu Bridge, etc. But today, I will introduce some historical bridges on the Suzhou Creek. These bridges are not as magnificent as those world-renowned ones. However, with a long history, these historical bridges witness the development of this city and the daily life of local people.
上海有許多世界級大橋，例如黃浦江上的南浦大橋、楊浦大橋等，許多橋樑工藝堪稱當時世界領先水平。不過，今天的故事主角不是它們。我要帶大家去上海的另一條河——蘇州河，看看那裡的另一些橋。它們曾經也有過輝煌，經歷過戰爭歲月的洗禮，如今雖然顯得陳舊而不起眼，卻是河兩岸居民每天生活的必經之地，是上海歷史、文化的見證。

Suzhou Creek is one of the principal outlets of Lake Tai. It passes through the city centre of Shanghai and flows into the Huangpu River at the northern end of the Bund. As shown on the map, there are eleven bridges in the range of Huangpu District, from west to east: South-North Elevated Bridge, New Dam Bridge, Wuzhen Road Bridge, Xizang Road Bridge, Zhejiang Road Bridge, Fujian Road Bridge, Shanxi Road Bridge, Henan Road Bridge, Sichuan Road Bridge, Zhapu Road Bridge and Garden Bridge. Their history can be traced back to Qing Dynasty. Most of them were renovated at the beginning of the 20th century and have been used so far.
蘇州河是江蘇太湖的一條重要支流，途徑上海市區，向東流入黃浦江。從地圖上可以看到，在上海最繁華的行政區——黃浦區段，蘇州河上一共有十一座橋，由西向東分別是：南北高架橋、新閘橋、烏鎮路橋、西藏路橋、浙江路橋、福建路橋、山西路橋、河南路橋、四川路橋、乍浦路橋和外白渡橋。這些橋的歷史幾乎都可以追溯到清朝，原來大多為木橋，在20世紀初由上海工部局改建為混凝土橋，沿用至今。

South-North Elevated Bridge
南北高架橋

South-North Elevated Road is one of the main traffic highways in Shanghai. Today, we will start our tour from here, to view the bridges across the Creek.
南北高架是上海南北方向的交通主動脈，我們的行程就從這裡開始，沿著蘇州河一路向東，看看河上各色的橋。

New Dam Bridge
新閘橋

Compare to the South-North Elevated Bridge, the New Dam Bridge has a more venerable history. Dating back to Qing Dynasty, there was a wooden floating bridge on a stone floodgate. The New Dam Bridge is the first iron bridge over the Suzhou Creek.
新閘橋歷史非常悠久，清朝時這裡就有石閘，閘上設有抽板浮橋。新閘橋又稱“吳淞第一橋”，是蘇州河上的第一座鐵橋。

Wuzhen Road Bridge
烏鎮路橋

The original bridge was destroyed in Japanese war of aggression. What we see today was built in 1999. The new Wuzhen Road Bridge really had a modern design in those days. At night, the blue lights on the bridge create a peaceful ambience. Mr P and I like walking across this bridge when we walk along the creek.
原本的烏鎮路橋在抗日戰爭的戰火中毀壞，今天看到的新橋是1999年5月建造的。在當時來說，這可是非常有現代感的一座拱橋。到了晚上，橋身還會亮起一盞盞藍色的燈，把夜晚的蘇州河映襯得格外祥和與寧靜。相比別的大橋人來車往，這座橋人流並不多，我和 @pgr 在河邊散步時很喜歡從這座橋走過。

Xizang Road Bridge
西藏路橋

Sihang Warehouse locates on the northern bank near the Xizang Road Bridge, where Xie Jinyuan led the "800 heroes" to resist Japanese invasion in 1937. Today, Shanghai has Jinyuan Road and Jinyuan High School, which are named after Xie Jinyuan, to commemorate the national hero.
西藏路橋始建於1922年，橋的北岸就是著名的四行倉庫所在地。著名抗日英雄謝晉元在淞滬會戰中率領“八百壯士”死守四行倉庫，鼓舞了中國人民的抗戰熱情。如今在上海有以謝晉元命名的道路、學校，以此紀念這位抗日民族英雄。

Zhejiang Road Bridge
浙江路橋

Zhejiang Road Bridge was renovated in 1906 by Shanghai Municipal Council with a unique structure of fish-bellied steel truss beam. In 2015, it was removed to the northern bank for a big maintenance. When it was moved back to the original position, a fish head sculpture was placed beside it...hmmm, it looks like a complete fish now.
1906年，上海工部局拆除原來的木橋，把浙江路橋改建成魚腹式桁梁鋼橋。2015年，整座大橋平移到岸上大修。10月歸位后，還在邊上樹了一個魚頭雕塑。好吧，現在看上去是一條完整的魚了！

Fujian Road Bridge
福建路橋

Fujian Road Bridge, also known as Old Dam Bridge, was built in 1885. In 1968, it was rebuilt to a concrete structure arch bridge. Then it was renovated in 2007 and has been used so far.
福建路橋俗稱老閘橋，始建於1885年，1946年更名為福建路橋，1968年改建成鋼筋混凝土拱橋。現在看到的福建路橋是在2007年竣工投入使用的。

Shanxi Road Bridge
山西路橋

Shanxi Road Bridge has the most outstanding appearance among these bridges. With sky blue colour and iron stairs, it seems so vintage and unique.
山西路橋大概是蘇州河上承重最小的橋，不像其他鋼筋混凝土結構的橋，這座橋就是鐵和木頭做的，只能行人或者推自行車，不能行駛機動車。橋身獨特的天藍色別具一格，我尤其喜歡在上面“咚咚咚”地跑上跑下，鐵皮隨著踏步振動，特別好玩！

Henan Road Bridge
河南路橋

Near Henan Road Bridge, there is the former site of Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce. The old bridge was removed in 2006. A new bridge was built in 2009.
河南路橋始建於1875，原名三百渡橋，1927年改建成混凝土拱橋。2006年老河南路橋拆除重建，新河南路橋于2009年建成通車。橋的北岸是上海總商會舊址。

Sichuan Road Bridge
四川路橋

Sichuan Road Bridge, also known as Post Office Bridge, was renovated in 1922 by Shanghai Municipal Council. The Post Office Building, a heritage architecture, which became the Postal Museum is next to it.
四川路橋又名郵政局橋，1922年由上海工部局建造。這座橋邊上是非常著名的上海郵政大樓，現在已經改建成了中國郵政博物館。莊嚴的大樓和這座橋一起記錄了中國郵政歷史的起源。

Zhapu Road Bridge
乍浦路橋

Zhapu Road Bridge was renovated in 1927 by Shanghai Municipal Council into a reinforced concrete arch bridge. Featuring streamlined piers, it looks extremely simple and elegant.
1927年上海工部局將乍浦路橋改建成鋼筋混凝土拱橋。與其他橋不同的是，乍浦路橋的兩個橋墩非常有特色，優美的弧線劃入水面，顯得十分簡潔優雅。

Garden Bridge
外白渡桥

After walking about 5KM, we finally came to the confluence of the Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River. Garden Bridge, one of the historical landmarks in Shanghai, is well known worldwide. From here, you can see the skyline of Lujiazui and the old buildings in the Bund as well. Many couples come here to take their wedding photography, and you could find more pictures here.
走了差不多5公里的路，我們終於到了蘇州河與黃浦江的交匯口。這座橋就是上海鼎鼎大名的外白渡橋。無數的電影電視在這裡取景拍攝，從橋上可以眺望浦東陸家嘴的高樓大廈，也可以看到外灘老建築。上海許多地標建築可以在這裡盡收眼底，所以這裡也成了上海新人們拍攝婚紗照必來之處，可以在 這裡查看更多照片。

From here, the Suzhou Creek flows into the Huangpu River.
蘇州河在這裡匯入了黃浦江

In ancient times, human civilization was birthed in the river area. Hundred years ago, the river brought the modernization to us. As the world changes, the city is striving hard to keep up with the times, and these bridges are the most vivid monument of its process.
浪奔，浪流，萬里濤濤江水永不休。古代，河流孕育了人類文明；現代，航路又把現代化推到眼前。歷史變遷，滄海桑田，上海人一直在用努力和勤奮證明自己，這些橋便是歷史最生動的紀念碑。
