Pingnan Third Bridge
The Pingnan Third Bridge (), internationally known as Pingnan Third Bridge, is a road bridge that crosses the Xun River, a section of the Xi River (which later flows into the Pearl River). It is part of the new western bypass of Pingnan in the Guangxi province of the People's Republic of China. The bridge, with a total length of 1035 m, carries four lanes of traffic with emergency lanes and sidewalks on both sides. It consists of a 170 m long approach bridge on the south bank, a CFST arch bridge with a main span of 575 m, and a 280 m long approach bridge on the north bank.The sum of these dimensions is 1025 m, but the length of the bridge is generally given as 1035 m, which may be due to whether or not the expansion joints are included in the calculation.

Xun River
The Xun River ( Chinese: 浔江, pinyin: Xún Jiāng, jyutping: ''Cham4 Gong1'') is a short section of the main branch of the Pearl River system upstream from the Xi Jiang in China. Although less than 200km long, it is of considerable importance in Guangxi Province as it drains the majority of the province. The Xun River in name is formed by the Yu and Qian rivers, with the Qian being the greater of the two tributaries. The Xun then flows out of Guiping and through Pingnan, finally joining with the Gui Jiang in Wuzhou to form the Xi Jiang. The Xun is also a section of the Pearl's longest tributary. The Xun River flows from west to east roughly along the Tropic of Cancer.
