History
Construction of the Pangong Bridge, designed by scholar-official and hydrologist Pan Jixun, commenced in 1585 and was completed in 1590, during the ruling of Wanli Emperor of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). In 1839, in the 19th year of the Daoguang period of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), the original five-hole stone beam bridge was changed into a three-hole stone arch bridge to increase the water discharge.

On 6 May 2013, it was listed among the seventh batch of "Major National Historical and Cultural Sites in Zhejiang" by the State Council of China.
