Located in Di’anmenwai Street, Xicheng District. It was built in the twenty-second year of Yuan Zhi Yuan (1285). Originally a wooden bridge, it was changed to a stone arch bridge in the Yuan Dynasty, named Wanning Bridge. Also known as Haizi Bridge and Houmen Bridge…….. was built from the Yuan Dynasty to the 22nd of the Yuan Dynasty. It was called Wanning Bridge at that time. It was the most prosperous period of the Yuan Dynasty under Kublai Khan’s rule. The Wanning Bridge at that time was a wooden bridge. At that time, its “little name” was not called “Houmen Bridge”. Historical materials record Wanning Bridge in Yuan Dynasty, also known as “Sky Bridge”. In the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan repaired the end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to today’s Jishuitan, and this Wanning Bridge is the northernmost gate of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal . The water transport ships entering the Imperial City of Beijing must pass here. The “Tonghui River” in the Beijing section was not only built by Kublai Khan’s decree, but the Tonghui River was also named by Kublai Khan on the Wanning Bridge, and it is also a bridge that Kublai Khan must walk in and out of Beijing. That’s why its nickname is qualified to be called “Tianqiao”.
Wanning Bridge is a “bridge gate” with dual functions: it can be used as a bridge to pass through, and it can also be used as a gate to control water. Guo Shoujing dug a canal, used Jishuitan as a reservoir, and set up ten locks and dams along the Tonghui River for control. There are boats to release the water from the Fangti locks, but they are usually closed. It seems to be energy efficient. Set up under the Wanning Bridge is the Qingcheng sluice, also known as the Haizi sluice. It is the first checkpoint for the water flow in Jishuitan (formerly known as Haizi). At the same time, it serves as the terminal of the Grand Canal. The sail passes through the tunnel of the Wanning Bridge and enters a safe haven for anchoring and unloading.

In the ancient past, there was a hero named Hou Yi who was excellent at archery. His wife was Chang’e. One year, the ten suns rose in the sky together, causing great disaster to the people. Yi shot down nine of the suns and left only one to provide light. An immortal admired Yi and sent him the elixir of immortality. Yi did not want to leave Chang’e and be immortal without her, so he let Chang’e keep the elixir. However, Peng Meng, one of his apprentices, knew this secret. So, on the fifteenth of August in the Chinese lunisolar calendar, when Yi went hunting, Peng Meng broke into Yi’s house and forced Chang’e to give the elixir to him. Chang’e refused to do so. Instead, she swallowed it and flew into the sky. Since she loved her husband and hoped to live nearby, she chose the moon for her residence. When Yi came back and learned what had happened, he felt so sad that he displayed the fruits and cakes Chang’e liked in the yard and gave sacrifices to his wife. People soon learned about these activities, and since they also were sympathetic to Chang’e they participated in these sacrifices with Yi.
After the hero Houyi shot down nine of the ten suns, he was pronounced king by the thankful people. However, he soon became a conceited and tyrannical ruler. In order to live long without death, he asked for the elixir from Xiwangmu. But his wife, Chang’e, stole it on the fifteenth of August because she did not want the cruel king to live long and hurt more people. She took the magic potion to prevent her husband from becoming immortal. Houyi was so angry when discovered that Chang’e took the elixir, he shot at his wife as she flew toward the moon, though he missed. Chang’e fled to the moon and became the spirit of the moon. Houyi died soon because he was overcome with great anger. Thereafter, people offer a sacrifice to Chang’e on every fifteenth day of eighth month to commemorate Chang’e’s action.
