Introduction

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Qinglong Bridge in Lijiang began to be built, and now it has a history of more than 400 years. This ancient stone bridge is 25 meters long, 4.5 meters wide, and 4 meters high, all built with stone blocks. It is the most prominent among Lijiang's ancient stone bridges. This landmark building carries the memory of the heyday of the Mu clan chieftains and has been washed by wind and rain for hundreds of years. The bridge deck is now mottled and old, but still retains a solemn and heavy atmosphere. In spring, the willows by the bridge bloom new shoots, like smoke and gauze. The green waves seem to surge onto the bridge deck, creating the image of the "Smoke and Willow Flat Bridge."
