“潮州湘桥好风流，十八梭船廿四洲，廿四楼台廿四样，两只鉎牛一只溜。”每当我听到了这首歌谣，就会想起了我家乡潮州那座美丽的湘子桥。
“ Chaozhou Xiangqiao is very charming, with eighteen shuttle boats and twenty-four continents, twenty-four towers and twenty-four platforms, and two oxen and one slide. ” Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of the beautiful Xiangzi Bridge in my hometown Chaozhou.
湘子桥又称“广济桥”，始建于南宋，至今有800多年，全长515米。它的地理位置十分优越，东临笔架山，西接东门闹市，南眺凤凰洲，北仰金城山，是古代广东通往福建的交通要津。它与福建的洛阳桥，河北的赵州桥，北京的卢沟桥合称“中国四大古桥”，也与金山古松，韩祠橡木，西湖渔筏，凤凰时雨，鳄渡秋风，龙湫宝塔，北阁佛灯合称“潮州八景”。
Xiangzi Bridge, also known as; Guangji Bridge; Founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been over 800 years and has a total length of 515 meters. Its geographical location is extremely advantageous, with Bijia Mountain to the east, Dongmen bustling city to the west, Fenghuangzhou to the south, and Jincheng Mountain to the north. It was a transportation hub from ancient Guangdong to Fujian. It is collectively known as the Luoyang Bridge in Fujian, the Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei, and the Lugou Bridge in Beijing; The Four Great Ancient Bridges in China; It is also known as Jinshan Ancient Pine, Han Ci Oak, West Lake Fishing Raft, Phoenix Rain, Crocodile Crossing Autumn Wind, Longqiu Pagoda, and Beige Buddhist Lantern; The Eight Scenic Spots of Chaozhou;.
湘子桥的美是古香古色的美，它是世界上第一座启闭式桥梁，东西两段是石梁桥，中间是由18艘梭船组成的浮桥。远眺，它就像一条长龙，卧在波涛汹涌的韩江上。近看，桥上的一座座亭台楼阁，就像珍珠点缀在湘子桥上一般，好看极了！
The beauty of Xiangzi Bridge is its antique charm. It is the world's first open and closed bridge, with stone beam bridges in the east and west sections and a floating bridge composed of 18 shuttle boats in the middle. From a distance, it looks like a long dragon lying on the turbulent Han River. Up close, the pavilions and towers on the bridge look like pearls adorning the Xiangzi Bridge, they are absolutely stunning!
湘子桥的美还有一种现代美，每当夜幕降临，它就会变成灯的世界，光的海洋。音乐一响起，它就随着灯光的高低起伏，不停地闪烁着五彩缤纷的光线。时而变成红色，时而变成黄色，时而变成蓝色。而附近的东临笔架山上也状如蛟龙，真是美不胜收！
The beauty of Xiangzi Bridge also has a modern beauty. Whenever night falls, it becomes a world of lights, an ocean of light. As soon as the music starts, it fluctuates with the rise and fall of the lights, constantly flashing colorful lights. Sometimes it turns red, sometimes it turns yellow, sometimes it turns blue. And the nearby Bijia Mountain on the east side also looks like a dragon, it's really beautiful!
湘子桥真美！它是我国劳动人民的智慧结晶，也是我们潮州人的骄傲。湘子桥，我爱你！
Xiangzi Bridge is so beautiful! It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people in our country, and also the pride of us Teochew people. Xiangziqiao, I love you!
