It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795) and renovated during the Guangxu period (1875-1908). The Yudai Bridge is the most beloved of the six bridges on the Xidi. It is the only high-arched stone bridge on the West Embankment. It was the passage for Emperor Qianlong to take a boat from Kunming Lake to Yuquan Mountain. The bridge body is made of white marble and blue and white stone. The white bridge pillars are carved with various cranes flying into the clouds. The carvings are exquisite and vivid, showing the artistic talents of the carving craftsmen.
