The Double-Dragon Bridge, also called the Seventeen-Archway Bridge, is a large stone bridge with three towers and seventeen supporting arches. It was built at the convergence of the branches of the Lujiang River and Tachong Rivers during the Qing Dynasty.  Since the two rivers look like two dragons, the bridge was named the Double-Dragon Bridge. The carving and inlaid black clay that depicts the bridge is the most intricate I have seen in terms of fine lines and detail.  It is superb.
