Jianshui, also known as 'Lin'an', was established around 810 AD. Today's Jianshui is famous for its purple pottery, snacks, barbecue, and cultural tourism in Yunnan and even the whole country. The Shuanglong Bridge in Jianshui was built during the Qing Dynasty. After its completion, it had seventeen holes, so it was also called the 'Seventeen-hole Bridge'. The bridge body is made of stone blocks, the railings on both sides of the bridge are made of stone strips, and the bridge surface is paved with tens of thousands of large bluestones. After years of historical polishing, the bluestone slabs on the bridge surface are now smooth and shiny, full of historical stories. The Shuanglong Bridge is located in Lin'an Town, Jianshui County, about 3-4 kilometers from the city center, so it is friendly for shooting the sunrise.
