Shuanglong
(Twin Dragons) Bridge

Situated three km. west of the
town proper, Shuanglong Bridge arches across the
confluence of the Lujiang River and the Tachong
River. The first three arches were built in the
Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, and the remaining
14 in the Daoguange era later. The 17 spans, although
built in different umes, matched perfectly, and
the bridge is therefore also called the Seventeen-Arch
Bridge. A pavilion of three stories was built
in the middle, and two others at the two ends
of the bridge. It is considered one of the beautifully
built ancient bridge of the nation, and has been
classified as an important cultural relic under
provincial protection.
