🌟 The blue-bodied Jinsha River, the towering peaks, and the Jinlong Bridge, which is known as "only one bridge in the Yangtze River", is located in the middle of it. ✅ Jinlong Bridge was built in the Qing Dynasty, and it has been a hundred years old and still stands. This bridge is similar to the Luding Bridge we have walked before, which is a chain bridge across the Jinsha River. ✅ Jinlong Bridge consists of 18 chains, each of which has about 500 iron rings, and it still looks very strong. ✅ This place used to be an important part of the ancient tea horse road, and it was also the only way to travel to Tibet, India and other places in Sichuan. When the ancient tea horse road is bustling, the number of people and vehicles passing by here every day can reach hundreds or even thousands, which shows how prosperous it once was. ✅ Going to the Jinlong Bridge, pay attention to walk away in the middle, because there are not many people, walking on the bridge alone feels that the bridge is still relatively stable, but it is best not to look down at the river, it is easy to feel dizzy and unstable. Now there are the rules of the Jinlong Bridge at the bridge, so you must read it carefully before leaving. #Traveling happy moments
