The Double Rainbow Bridge is the oldest bridge on the Nujiang River, and it is also the only ancient bridge that has not been washed away and is still in use. Two red suspension bridges are built on the boulders in the middle of the river, using the stones as piers, just like two rainbows, which are breathtaking! The bridge deck is paved with nanmu and camphor wood, which have been preserved for hundreds of years without decay. Since the ancient road hundreds of years ago is still in use, the uphill and downhill roads are quite difficult to walk, so be mentally prepared. If you want to take a panoramic photo, there is a terrace of a shop by the roadside, which is just by the river and almost unobstructed, don't miss it.
