Lugou Bridge, this historic structure that crosses the Yongding River is also known as the Marco Polo Bridge, and is situated 15km southwest of Tiananmen, Beijing. The eleven-arch granite bridge, is an architecturally significant structure, restored by the Kangxi Emperor (1662–1722). The Marco Polo Bridge Incident (occurred on July 7, 1937) was a battle between the Republic of China's National Revolutionary Army and the Imperial Japanese Army, often used as the marker for the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). 橫跨北京永定河的盧溝橋，是座花崗岩石拱橋，共11拱，始建於金代，至今已有逾 800年歷史，現存的橋身為清朝康熙皇帝重修。1937年7月7日，屯駐在北京宛平城外的日本軍，借口演習時有軍人失蹤，要求進城搜查，遭守城國軍阻止，槍聲響起，揭開中國全面抗日的序幕。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Polo_Bridge - Swingin' flre
