Heilong Bridge

Also known as Qingfeng bridge, on the Xier River in Xiaguan, it was originally a stone bridge, which was rebuilt into a reinforced concrete bridge in 1979. The bridge is an important bridge connecting the important town of Xiaguan to the peace treaty in ancient times. It is also an important bridge and culvert on the ancient road in Northwest Yunnan. It has a glorious page in the history of Western Yunnan. It is said that a black dragon often lies on the West Erhe River, blocking the sea water outlet, causing the sea water to rise, flooding, inundating the coastal villages and land, and the people are in great pain. Later, a small yellow dragon defeated the black dragon and drove it out of the Xi'er River in order to save the people from the flood. In order to celebrate the elimination of the flood, people built a stone bridge on the river, named Heilong bridge after the evil idea of little yellow dragon expelling big black dragon.

The bridge was first built in the Tang Dynasty and was built by Luo Feng. According to the book of man, it was rebuilt many times. In 1877, it was destroyed by water and rebuilt into a five hole stone arch bridge. The reconstructed reinforced concrete bridge is 87 meters long and 10 meters wide, with guardrail enclosure, beautiful and practical. Located in the center of the city, Heilong bridge is the main bridge connecting the north and south sides of Xiaguan. When the bridge was completed and opened to traffic, today's people wrote a couplet congratulations. The couplet is: "Xi Bridge completed, see the East and West Cang'er encircled, Bai'er mountains and rivers add magnificence; praise modern architecture, let the boat on and off, prosperous city for new clothes."
