Zhong'ai Bridge

　　Like a long dragon lying across the Amo River, Zhong'ai Bridge is the site of one of the “Eight Scenic Spots of Talang” from the Qing Dynasty in Mojiang — the “Brocade Ripples of Mojiang.” Originally built in the 12th year of the Tongzhi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1873), the bridge was named Zhong'ai, meaning “loyalty to the sovereign and love for the country.” In 1953, to construct the Kunming (Kun) to Daluo highway, the original Zhong'ai Bridge was demolished and replaced with a new stone arch road bridge for vehicular traffic. It serves as an important transportation hub on National Highway 213. Due to its crucial role in consolidating border stability, national defense, and economic development, it received high praise from both Mao Zedong and [another leader — placeholder for unnamed leader], whose inscribed stone tablets still stand at the bridgehead to this day. Meanwhile, the Amo River Bridge running parallel to it is the twin of the Honghe Bridge, the tallest bridge in Asia. Zhong'ai Bridge and the Amo River Bridge each have their own unique features, making them objects of deep affection.
