Kunming Check-in Photography Trip to Southern Yunnan Jiashui Seventeen-Arch Bridge

🍁Jiashui Seventeen-Arch Bridge, also known as Shuanglong Bridge, is a grand multi-arch bridge. It was initially built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and later underwent several reconstructions and expansions, making it a seventeen-arch bridge. The bridge body is made of about 500 stone blocks, making it very sturdy. There are also three pavilions built on the bridge. Unfortunately, the three pavilions were destroyed by fire during the Xianfeng period, but they were rebuilt during the Guangxu period, and two pavilions remain to this day. 🍁The design of the bridge is really exquisite, with pavilions within pavilions, and the bridge and pavilions reflecting each other, making it particularly magnificent. The central pavilion is a three-story square main pavilion with a glazed yellow tile roof, which is very splendid. The small pavilion at the southern end is delicate and beautiful, complementing the main pavilion, and is really nice to look at. 🍁At dusk, the setting sun casts its light on the white walls and yellow tiles, the river surface sparkles, and the bridge body and arches are dyed golden. The distant mountains are dark green, and the nearby green willows sway in the wind. The eternal beauty of the ancient bridge is infinitely magnified. Standing quietly by the river, gazing at the flow of people on the ancient bridge, sitting and watching the sunset, the ancient bridge and oneself in perfect harmony.
