A bridge with two names

From the East Gate of Teochew City, lies a bridge with two names.  Do watch this video and you will know this bridge and the 18 shuttle boats. The bridge has two names because it was built by two people, each starting from one side of the Han River. 

This is another good video of the bridge with two names.

You can see the poem on the flags by the bridge which has been posted a day ago. 

潮州八景好風流

十八梭船廿四洲

廿四樓臺廿四樣

二隻鉎牛一隻溜

潮州八景好踢跎

十八梭船廿四

廿四樓臺廿四樣

二隻鉎牛一隻無。
