History

The bridge was greatly damaged during fighting between the Taiping and Qing armiesШаблон:Sfnp over the course of 1853,Шаблон:Sfnp with the pavilions entirely destroyed. They were subsequently repaired by the end of the Qing,Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp but only three of the five pavilions remained standing in 1929.Шаблон:Sfnp The bridge was later renovated in 1933, 1951Шаблон:Ndash1953,Шаблон:Sfnp 1956, and 1982.[2] As the "Lotus Bridge", the Five-Pavilion Bridge was inscribed along with the nearby White Dagoba as the 533rd Major Cultural Heritage Site under National-Level Protection added during the 6th round of nominations on 25 May 2006.Шаблон:Sfnp
