The most fun time of Shuanglong Bridge

The best time for Shuanglong Bridge: it belongs to subtropical climate and is suitable for spring, autumn and winter tourism.

Longqiao is located three kilometers west of Jianshui City. It is a large stone arch bridge with three pavilions and seventeen holes. It crosses the Shanghai River, a tributary of Nanpanjiang River, and collapses at the intersection of Chonghe River. It is named after the two rivers winding like Ssangyong.

This bridge was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, when only three holes were built, and 14 holes were built in the early years of Daoguang, which was connected with the original three-hole goose tooth, so it was also called seventeen-hole bridge. The whole bridge is made of tens of thousands of huge bluestones, with a total length of148m and a deck width of 3-5m, which is spacious and flat. There are three pavilions on the bridge with unique shapes, exquisite craftsmanship and proper layout. The first pavilion in the middle school is tired, high in the sky, and the front and rear pavilions set each other off. In the sixth year of Chengfeng (1856), the third brother was destroyed by the war. Reconstruction began in the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896) and was completed in the 24th year, which was more spacious than the old plan. The intermediary pavilion is a square main pavilion with triple eaves, nearly 20 meters high and 16 meters long, with staggered overhangs, which is magnificent. The ground floor is a bridge passage, where you can climb the stairs and overlook thousands of Tian Wan fireworks, rolling mountains and rows of mountains and rivers. The bridge pavilion at the southern end is a pyramid-shaped roof with double eaves and upturned cornices, which is exquisite and beautiful. But the bridge pavilion at the other end has been destroyed.

It is a masterpiece of ancient bridges in China and occupies an important position in the history of Chinese bridges. 1965, Mao Yisheng, a bridge expert in China, thought it should be listed as one of the existing large ancient stone bridges in China. The bridge is now a key cultural relic protection unit in Yunnan Province. (declared as a national key cultural relics protection unit)
