Both doors have towers, Wengcheng and Zhalou. There are turrets in all four corners of the city. There are cribs and an armory on the wall. Lugou Bridge was built in June of the 29th year of Jin Dading (1 189) and in March of the 3rd year of Ming Chang (1 192). Formerly known as "Guangli Bridge", it was later renamed as "Lugou Bridge". This bridge, also known as "Kelpolo Bridge" abroad, is 260 meters long and 9.30 meters wide, with ten piers and eleven holes. The distance between the central bridge holes is 2 1.35 m, and the distance between the east and west banks is 16.49 m. The pier is boat-shaped, with water diversion tips on the intake side, and 26 cm long Yangtze River Delta iron columns are placed on each tip to meet floods and ice cubes and protect the pier and bridge body. The water outlet side is streamlined and shaped like a stern, reducing the pressure of water flow on bridge opening. Tests show that this ancient bridge has a great bearing capacity. It passed a 429-ton large flat car without any damage. Lugou Xiaoyue is one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing. There are sentries and railings on both sides of Lugou Bridge, and there are 28 1 sentries, each with a stone lion.
