Marco Polo Bridge memorial of Qing Emperor Kangxi

Lugou Qiao - Marco Polo Bridge
卢沟桥的历史

Front view of the memorial of Qing Emperor Kangxi 康熙 (Kāngxī). The nose of the turtle no longer shows any detail. I would imagine many children have ridden his back over the centuries. The memorial stands 5.78 meters high, the stele 4.53 meters high, 1.17 meters wide, and .57 meters thick (14.86 feet high, 3.84 feet wide, and 1.87 feet thick).
