What travelers say:

Zigui Bridge is on the back of the north stone turtle in Songyuan Town, the county seat. It is now a county-level cultural relics protection unit. Originally, pedestrians traveled to and from both sides of the Straits, or with bamboo rafts or shoals, and pedestrians felt inconvenient. During the Dade period of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yi people erected wooden bridges in the lower reaches of Shentan. The famous "Xingxian Bridge". Due to frequent floods, repeated repairs, and finally all scrapped. In the four years (1460) of Tianshun in the Ming Dynasty, the people donated funds and the government supplemented it. From the Qiushan Mountain, through the back of the stone turtle, and then across the other side, built a corridor house-style wooden bridge. The bridge is 41 and has a unique shape. It is called "Zigui Bridge". The bridge is famous for "Analects. Advanced". "Bathing, wind and dance, and returning". For more than 500 years, the bridge has been under floods and fires. It has been in the past few years. When it was liberated, it was only left on the south bank to the left bridge on the stone turtle. After the construction of the cement road, the bridge has lost the role of communication on both sides of the Straits, and the ancient bridge is abandoned. But the left bridge is beautiful and solemn, and the structure is exquisite. It is an important scenic spot in Qingyuan. It forms a natural picture with Qiushan, Longshan and Shiyintan. So there is "Mengzhou Shengjing" on the cliff wall of the bridge. And "Balls Yihong" and other stone carvings. In 1983, the government allocated funds to repair the bridge to attract tourists from far and near. The wooden structure of the bridge was arched with arms extended, and the large fir trees were built into a "magpie nest". The bow-shaped wooden arch bridge was made. The wooden arch was not used with an iron nail. It spanned the Qiushan Mountain and the stone turtle. The bridge was paved with stones. Flat and strong. The corridor house is built on the bridge, covering the tiles, and the bridge is slightly extended to the river. There are benches between the two rows of porch and the railing wall. The visitors can enjoy the view of the mountains and the fish and ducks. The first two-story building in the north of the bridge is the "Make Up the Sky Pavilion" on the famous day. There used to be a statue of the female worm with a flowing wind. Dengge overlooking, has a lot of fun.
