Beijing Travel | Witness of History - Lugou Bridge.

Lugou Bridge, one of the four famous bridges in China, was built in the Jin Dynasty and is an important traffic artery connecting Beijing and Wanping City. Lugou Bridge is best known for the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937. As one of the representatives of ancient Chinese architecture, Lugou Bridge has a unique and profound significance in Chinese history. The historical significance, cultural value and spirit of the times of Lugou Bridge are unparalleled and are one of the important symbols of Chinese history and culture. 🌟The stone carved railings, watchtowers and numerous, various, vivid and lifelike stone lions on the bridge are squatting, lying, big and small, or small and big, with a total of 485 heads. The carving is so exquisite that the superb skills and endless creativity of our ancient craftsmen are really amazing. 🌟"Lugou Morning Moon" is one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing, and it was personally written by Qianlong, which is powerful! At night, if you can stand on the bridge, admire the high moon, feel the heaviness of history and the tranquility of nature intertwined, and listen to the echo of history, it is a wonderful fun. 🌟Wanping City is on the east side of Lugou Bridge. Enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate, which is Shunzhi Gate. It is an ancient city of Ming and Qing style. There are a large number of Ming and Qing buildings in the city, such as county yamen, Chenghuang Temple, Confucian Temple, etc. 🌟Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall: Located in Wanping City, there are a large number of cultural relics and photos from the Anti-Japanese War period, which make people feel the hardship and bravery of the Anti-Japanese War. The popular tourist spots in Beijing are crowded with people, and the Lugou Bridge has a small number of people and is quiet. It can not only appreciate the beauty of ancient bridge architecture, but also feel the spiritual washing brought by history and humanities. 🌈Attraction Features: Lugou Bridge, the largest ancient stone bridge in North China, was called by Marco Polo as the unique bridge in the world. It is famous for its solid structure, beautiful shape and exquisite stone carvings. It has a high level of bridge engineering technology and art. In addition, on July 7, 1937, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China here, known as the "Lugou Bridge Incident", which fired the first shot of the full-scale Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, Lugou Bridge is also the place where the national Anti-Japanese War broke out and has important historical significance. 🎟️Ticket related: 20 yuan 🕐️Scenic area opening hours: 07:30-19:00 open (stop entering the park at 18:30) 💗Other tips: 1 Go early and there are fewer tourists, so it's good to take pictures. 2 The road is uneven, wear suitable shoes.
