Looking down the Krestovy Canal from the deck of one of the Small Chinese Bridges. The cast-iron railing belongs to the Small Chinese Bridge, characterized by its geometric lattice and gilded ball details, cast at the Sestroretsk Arms Factory. The structure in the distance is the Krestovy Bridge (Cross Bridge), positioned centrally over the canal axis. This perspective illustrates the linear layout of the "New Garden" section of Alexander Park, visually connecting the two Chinoiserie-style crossings.

One of the Small Chinese Bridges (Small Iron Bridges) crossing the Krestovy Canal. Originally wooden (1781), they were replaced with cast iron versions forged at the Sestroretsk Arms Factory in 1786. Designed by Charles Cameron, who also planned the nearby Chinese Village. The bridge features intricate iron lattice railings and is framed by distinctive porticoes formed of paired columns with "Chinese-style" curved sheet-iron roofs. The columns are painted to mimic colored marble, and the structure was fully restored in the 21st century.

Small Chinese Bridge in Alexander Park. Pushkin (former Tsarskoe Selo), south from Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 24, 2015

Layered perspective of the Krestovy Canal s Chinoiserie architecture. The Small Chinese Bridge frames the scene with its limestone portico and iron lattice railing (1786). The canal leads the eye directly to the Cross Bridge (1779), its arch rising over the water with the distinct "globular pendant" hanging from the vault. The bridges are aligned along the canal s axis, creating a visual corridor characteristic of the park s "New Garden" layout, emphasized here by the autumnal frame of maple trees.

The view through the porticoes of one Small Chinese Bridge (often called the Second Small Chinese Bridge) that frames the Cross Bridge in the distance. The twin porticoes, with their "Chinese" peaked roofs and paired columns, create a natural proscenium that directs the eye straight down the canal. The foreground showcases the bridge s vibrant ironwork--geometric lattices and gilded details--contrasting with the brick arch of the Cross Bridge and the soft autumn foliage beyond. This alignment exemplifies the park s deliberate theatricality, using architectural "wings" (the porticoes) to stage the view of the central pavilion.

Krestovy Bridge (Cross Bridge) located in Alexander Park in the town of Pushkin (formerly Tsarskoe Selo), near Saint Petersburg. It has Chinoiserie (Chinese-style) architecture, popular in the 18th century. A pavilion rests on four joined arches over the canal, creating a cross shape. It features glazed bricks (crimson, yellow, blue) and a curved "fish scale" roof. Built in 1779 by the Neyelovs for Catherine the Great, it is a key landmark of the park s "New Garden" area.

This view from the Small Chinese Bridge captures the northwestern stretch of the Krestovy Canal. The canal creates a straight, reflective corridor lined with golden maples, emphasizing the transition from the formal "New Garden" to the more naturalistic landscape park areas. Looking northwest, the canal leads toward the Alexander Palace and its kitchen buildings, which are situated to the right of this axis, hidden behind the dense tree line. The scene highlights the park s quiet, wooded character, contrasting with the architectural focus of the opposite view towards the Cross Bridge.
