Dali Stream Bridge

　　   Dali Stream Bridge, also known as Jiaolong Bridge, is a provincial-level key cultural relic protection site. It is located about 100 meters north of Dali Stream Village in Chengyuan Township, situated at the junction of Zhenghe, Shouning, and Zhouning counties, and served as an important historical passage connecting these three regions. The bridge spans a tributary of the Nuanxi Stream called Dali Stream. It is named Jiaolong (meaning “Meeting of Dragons”) because to the east of the bridge lies Lion Mountain and to the west lies Phoenix Mountain, which locals regard as two dragons. The original construction date of the bridge is unknown, but the current structure was rebuilt in the autumn of 1835 during the Qing Dynasty’s Daoguang reign, and it underwent renovation again in 1949. This wooden arch covered bridge is 27.8 meters long, 5 meters wide, with a clear span of 14.5 meters and an arch height of 6 meters. The bridge deck features 13 corridor rooms supported by 56 pillars. The corridor is 4 meters high, while the central pavilion reaches 6 meters and houses a shrine dedicated to Guanyin. To the west of the bridge stands the Jiaolong Treasure Hall, which enshrines the Three Ladies of Linshui.
