Engraved on these two stone tablets are "Civil and military officials, big and small, stop here and get off the bus." These words were engraved during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Although they are a little blurry, they can still be seen clearly. After this pavilion is the Guanbu Bridge. This bridge is winding and has an arched part in the middle. It looks very beautiful. Although it is short-lived, it has become a tourist check-in spot. After crossing this bridge, you will find the ancestral hall of Zhang Jun, Zhang Shi and his son, which looks very solemn and solemn.
