Gaoliangqiao (Chinese:高梁桥) is a bridge situated inHaidian District, Beijing.^[1] It was first built in 1292 during theYuan dynasty.

Kublai Khan built the bridge to meet the water needs ofBeijing. He commissionedGuo Shoujing to dredge the water ways and construct a bridge. During theMing andQing dynasties, it formed part of the route between Beijing and theWestern Hills. According to legend, the Sorghum River comes from the story about Zhe Gao. There was a river in the north side of theXizhimen. It was said that both the Yuan emperor andLiu Bowen wanted to make the newly formed city ofDadu (now part of Beijing) the capital of China. However, Beijing was a sea of river at that time so, Liu threatened theDragon King to move the water to another place. Days later, the Dragon King flew away with his wife. Liu ordered Gao Liang to arrest the King. Gao caught up with the Dragon King, but Gao drowned in the river during the ensuing battle. In commemoration of the hero, the people named the bridge after him.
