HuiLong Bridge
HuiLong Bridge is situated in Changping Village, Yanzhai Township, in the southwest of the county, 63 kilometers from the county town. Constructed in the 15th year of the Qianlong reign during the Qing Dynasty (1750 AD), it is a Dong-style wind and rain bridge. The bridge foundation is built with pebble stones, stretching 34 meters in length and 3.5 meters in width. The bridge features 14 rows of pavilions, with a two-story tower in the middle standing 7.5 meters high. It has double eaves, upturned corners, four sloping roofs, and a spherical spire. Benches with backrests and double rows of wooden pillars line the sides of the bridge, offering places to rest, creating an atmosphere that is both solemn and elegant, yet grand and imposing. Towering cypresses and ancient trees stand on both banks, including the “Divine Tree of Li Tianbao” – known as the King of Hunan Fir Trees.
