| The Lugou Bridge (Simplified: 卢沟桥; Traditional: 盧溝橋; Pinyin: Lúgōu Qiáo), also known as the Marco Polo Bridge, is a famous stone bridge located 15 km southwest of the Beijing city center across the Yongding River—a main tributary of Hai River (although, in recent years, the water of Yongding river is diverted to different areas of Beijing so often there is no water under Lugou bridge). Administratively, the location is in Fengtai District of Beijing. Situated at the eastern end of the bridge is the Wanping Fortress, a historic 17th century fortress.
