The ancient Shuanglong Bridge (Twin Dragon Bridge) in Jianshui, Honghe, Yunnan, China.
The Shuanglong Bridge, 148 meters long and about 9 meters high, is among the best large-scaled ancient bridges in China. It was built as a three-arch stone bridge in the Qianlong reign(1735 –1796) of the Qing Dynasty and became a seventeen-arch bridge in Daoguang reign(1820-1850). It was reconstructed in 1898 when a triple-eave square pavilion was built upright in its middle.
