(Chinese: 圣堂桥), is a historic stone arch bridge in the town of
Jinze, Qingpu District, Shanghai.The bridge was originally built
in 1267, in the 3rd year of Xianchun period (1265–1274) of the
Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279). It was renovated in the Ming
and Qing dynasties (1368–1911). In 1987 it was inscribed to the
fourth batch of Municipal Level Cultural Heritage List by the

With one arch, Puji Bridge is
26.7 metres long and 5 metres high, very similar to Wan'an
Bridge, therefore the two being collectively known as the
"Sister Bridges". It is made of a very precious purple stone,
namely the fluorite. Washed by rain, it appears shiny purple
