谢公桥在绍兴城内西小路与新河弄交接处，始建于后晋（936-946），清康熙四年（1685）重修。
Xiegong Bridge is located at the junction of Xixiao Road and Xinhe Road in Shaoxing city. The bridge was built in Later Jin (936-946), rebuilt in Qing Dynasty (1685). Under the bridge is Xixiao River; there are many houses on the banks of the river, which show the amazing style of the ancient city.
Today, Xiegong Bridge is near Shaoxing Beihai Primary School. There are so many buildings with typical Shaoxing style; there is also a Wupeng Boat (a kind of boat special in Shaoxing) berthed on the river. Since the bridge is not located next to the highway, the area looks like a miracle place in the city with beautiful sceneries. There are many locals and some visitors walking by. When I was visiting this bridge, I met a dog which was enjoying the sunshine in the afternoon.
