Dear friends, what are the fun places in Chengjiang?

Dragon Neck Yintao is located at the confluence of Chengjiang River and Hongshui River in Hongdu Village, Chengjiang Township. There is a pool that looks like a giant dragon opening its mouth, swallowing the Chengjiang River water, and then merges into the Hongshui River, hence the name "Dragon". neck". There is a strange rock about half a mile from the mouth of the pool, spanning the river, and there is a "stone gorge" horizontal lock at the bottom of the river. During the flood season, the water rushes down and rushes through the mouth of the gorge, causing rocks to splash freely like silver flowers. The light is dazzling and the waves are astonishing. The sound can be heard for miles, so it is called "Yintao". In autumn and winter, when the water level drops and the flow speed in the pond slows down, people can go fishing in the pond. The water flowing in the pond is extremely gorgeous under the reflection of bright light. When you are in it, you feel like you are in a crystal dragon. Wei Jingzhong, a native of Yi, has a poem: "The infinite deep pool is majestic, and the silver waves surge into the sky. The huge waves are roaring from the mountains, and the waves are rolling into the sea. It is suspected that the thunder god is beating the war drum, just like a tiger fighting a dragon. Climbing the cliff to try to see the beach. Water is as pleasant as living in the midst of vast waves."

Hongjin Ancient Ferry is located in Hongdu Village, Chengjiang Township. It was the key point of Anton Tonglong Mountain and Nanning in the past. In the second year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1797), local officials from Baishan carved the four characters "Hongjin Ancient Ferry" on the cliff on the south bank of the ferry and named it. At the ancient ferry port, there are steep cliffs and rugged rocks. On the cliff on the north bank, there used to be an ancient temple, which was abrupt and towering. It looks like an ancient temple in the mountains. There are docks on both sides of the river, with people coming and going, carrying bags on their backs, in an endless stream. Because it is an important crossing, it is a place often fought over by military strategists. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Wei Wusao, the leader of the Hui Party, sent troops to seize the crossing to prevent the government troops from attacking. There, they fought fiercely with the officials and troops of Si'en Prefecture. There is a poem from the people of Yi: "The river is rolling eastward. Here there are thousands of boats and big ferries. The broken walls and cliffs are all kinds of dangerous. The slippery and dark rocks are worrying thousands of people. The huge waves frighten the gods and ghosts. If I am calm and not afraid, today I will fly over the Hongqiao." On both sides of the strait, the scenery of the past was ups and downs. "In 1967, a stone arch bridge with a total length of 230 meters and a height of more than 80 meters was erected dozens of meters downstream of the ferry. The ancient ferry has been neglected since then.

Yongji Bridge is located about half a mile east of Chengjiang County, spanning the Chengjiang River. It has 10 arches, with a total length of 96 meters, a width of 4 meters, and a height of 7 meters. It is the best remaining ancient stone arch bridge in the county. According to the stele pavilion of the original bridge, the bridge was funded and built by Pan Fenggang after he inherited the title of native official of Anding. The bridge is elegant in shape and exquisite in craftsmanship. It was built in the first month of the sixth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1867) and completed in March. The bridge body is engraved with three characters "Yongji Bridge", each character is one foot square. There is a "Feng Lai Pavilion" at the west end of the bridge. There is a stone tablet inside the pavilion. There is a big banyan tree on the side of the pavilion, shaped like a giant umbrella, with dense green shade. During the "Cultural Revolution", the scenery at the bridgehead was completely destroyed, leaving only one solitary bridge. In 1972, a new reinforced concrete bridge was built above the Yongji Bridge. In 1978, a library was built on the Yongji Bridge deck, turning the ancient bridge into a "library on the water". In April 1982, it was listed as a county cultural relic protection unit.
