Double Dragon Bridge at sunset, with light pouring through 17 arches
Baijiaying, Xizhuang, about 5 km west of Jianshui old town
Begun under the Qing emperor Qianlong and later lengthened to 17 arches, this 148-meter stone bridge crosses where the Lu and Tachong rivers meet, with a three-story pavilion at its center. The tourist train only stops here by day, but the bridge is free and open around the clock, so come back by taxi for the evening. As the sun drops it shines through the arches and lays bands of gold on the water; walk the riverbank paths up and downstream for different angles.
What locals sayPhotographers favor the evening light and the far bank, where the whole bridge and its reflection fit in one frame.
