Bali Bridge, formerly known as Yongtong Bridge, is a three-hole stone arch bridge in Ming Dynasty built in 1446. It spans the Tonghui River and is the only place to pass from Tongzhou to Beijing. It is named after Bali from Tongzhou. It is located in the east-south of Chaoyang District. It borders Tongxian County in the east, Guojiadian in the west, Dongjunzhuang in the north, and Tonghui River in the south. The village is named after the bridge. Bali Bridge is 50 meters long from north to south and 16 meters wide from east to west. There are 32 sets of stone balustrades on both sides of the bridge deck. The carving knife on the board is smooth, rough and powerful. There are 33 pairs of pillars on the railing, and stone lions are carved on each pillar. The stone lions have different shapes and are lifelike, which can be compared with the famous Lugou Bridge stone lions. At the east and west ends of the bridge, there are a pair of beasts, with long mane and dense forest, with their heads held high. There were four water-suppressing beasts lying on the slope protection stone, twisting their necks and tilting their heads, glaring at Bi Bo. 200 meters east of the bridge south, there is a stone road monument made by Emperor Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty. On both sides of the bridge, there are green willows and poplars, fragrant grasses, and picturesque scenery. During the day, you can see the towering ancient city by leaning on the railing to the east; at night, you can watch the water from the railing, and among the fine waves, the shadow of the moon is whirling, either like a jade plate or like a silver hook. If a passenger air cargo boat passes through, the paddle breaks the jade plate, and the water breaks the silver hook, which is very spectacular. One of the eight scenic spots in Tongzhou in the past, the Long Bridge Reflecting the Moon, refers to this place.

原名永通桥,始建于1446年的明代三孔石拱桥,横跨在通惠河上;是通州至北京大道上的必经之处,因距通州八里而得名 。位置在八里桥地铁站的B2出口,京通快速路的八里桥收费站的北侧。八里桥不仅是一座造型独特的古桥,这里也是清末“八里桥血战”的古战场。看点1:八里桥的中间桥拱很高,而它的两侧小桥拱却很矮小,如此悬殊的比例也给八里桥带来了非常独特的形式感,八里桥的桥拱是北京独一无二的。通惠河曾是京城的主要运粮通道,高高的拱桥可以让来往帆船直接通过,八里桥也就有了“八里桥不落桅”的美誉。看点2:石雕装饰很美,在32块汉白玉护栏板的望柱上都雕刻有造型各异、形态生动的石狮子。看点3:东西两侧的南北岸边各有一只形态生动、体量巨大的镇水石兽。传说镇水兽是龙生九子之一的蛤蝮,其形象很怪异,说龙非龙,似虾非虾,喜欢游泳,以水为伴。看点4:典型的直拱桥,桥面的中心石是桥面的中轴线,与曲拱桥相比较,它的桥面是一条非常平直的通路,以前供骡马大车运输货物之用。即便是今日,依旧是车来车往的交通要道。看点5:曾经的古战场。清咸丰十年,三万清军曾在这里与英法侵略军展开了一场血战。公元1860年八月驻守八里桥一带的清军将士英勇杀敌,视死如归。在洋枪洋炮的猛烈攻击下三万将士全部殉国。1860年9月21日上午9时,八里桥失守,当日的八里桥上尸体遍布。观赏古桥回顾历史,不忘国耻缅怀殉国英烈。
