Who pities my charming eyes?

From the city of Jianshui heading west, it doesn't take long before you see a row of parked cars on both sides of the road and a line of vendors. This is the sign that you have arrived at Shuanglong Bridge. The Shuanglong Bridge spans over the Lujiang River and the Tachong River. It is named after the two rivers that meander and converge here, resembling two dragons. The bridge was initially built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty with only three arches. Later, the Tachong River changed its course, widening the river surface, and thus, fourteen more arches were added during the Daoguang period, making it a seventeen-arch bridge. Shuanglong Bridge is a typical covered bridge, with a total length of 148 meters. Its ingenious design effectively distributes the load of the bridge, ensuring the stability of the entire structure. For over three hundred years, it has stood firm against the elements. People on the bridge look at those below, and vice versa, creating a unique scenery. Ordinary men and women become part of the picturesque scene here; some are moved emotionally, while others take action—by taking photos.
