The Marco Polo Bridge or Lugou Bridge (simplified Chinese: 卢沟桥;
traditional Chinese: 卢沟桥; pinyin: Lúgōu Qiáo) is a stone bridge
located 15 km southwest of Beijing's city center in the Fengtai District. It
bridges the Yongding River, a major tributary of Hai River. Situated at the
eastern end of the bridge is the Wanping Fortress, a historic 17th-century
fortress, with the Museum of the War of Chinese Peo

There is no absolute rule, but generally names of bridges are prefixed by
'the' when - as is the case with the vast majority - they are named after
either the river that they span or the city/area in which they are located.
('Tower Bridge' obviously corresponds to neither of these cases!)
