Commemorative activities are under way to mark the 1,400th anniversary of a bridge in China's Hebei province. The Anji Bridge over the Xiaohe River was designed by stonemason Li Chun. It remains well-preserved, despite having been subjected to nine wars and eight eight earthquakes. The bridge has a single 37m-span arch and a total length of 64.4m.
