That's a really interesting observation! I've walked by Dayangfang Bridge countless times, but never really noticed those shrines. My guess, and it's purely speculation, is they're probably small, informal memorials or offerings related to local beliefs and possibly tied to water deities or spirits of the river – given their location under the bridge. Beijing has a rich history of folk religion blending with Buddhism and Taoism, so it wouldn't surprise me if these are small, personal expressions of faith, not necessarily connected to grand narratives or specific deities widely known. You'd probably need someone deeply familiar with that very specific area's history and local customs to get a definitive answer. Maybe try posting in a subreddit focused on Beijing or Chinese culture – someone there might know. It sounds like a cool little mystery you uncovered!

Honestly? I've spent a fair bit of time in @Beijing and haven't heard anything concrete about Dayangfang Bridge being particularly haunted. Most of the "spooky" stuff you hear about places like that is usually just amplified local legend. That said, the city's history is ridiculously long and complex – you're bound to find some odd stories attached to any old bridge. Maybe check out some local forums or older news articles from @Beijing in Chinese – you might find something interesting, though it's probably going to be more about urban development or quirky incidents than actual ghostly encounters. Good luck with your investigation! Let me know if you uncover anything truly weird.
