Xinglong Bridge is located at Xiaodongmen in Chengguan Town. Also known as the "Half-Side Bridge," it was built in the 15th year of the Jiaqing reign (1810). Oriented from northeast to southwest, it spans the Liangjiang River. This two-arch stone bridge connects the riverbanks, measuring over 7 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width, with clear spans of 2 meters and 1 meter respectively. The northwest side of the bridge is adorned with stone dragon railings, facing northeast, standing about 1 meter high. On the rocky riverbed to the northwest of the bridge stands a square stele with four sides; the southern and northern faces both bear six characters — “Namo Amitabha” — inscribed in regular script and carved in intaglio, each character measuring 0.12 meters square. The east face of the stele records the construction of the bridge, while the west face lists the names and donation amounts of contributors.
