Beautiful,interesting and exciting place to visit

Try it with curiosity. Go to the Guangji Bridge. The attractions need 20 yuan for the ordinary tickets. The student discount price is 15 yuan. The local old man is free. It is a 4A class tourist attraction. When you just entered the bridge, there is no big feature (ー_ー) ! ! Inside, you will find that this is an ancient bridge connected by a pontoon, one of the four famous historical bridges in China, Guangji Bridge. Every part of the bridge will have a plaque, which mentions a lot of words. Although I can't understand ╯▂╰, it is a historical reservation, with original taste. Half on the side of the Han River, this is the charm of the bridge. The architecture is very good. Now the weather is very hot here. You need to bring a hat or an umbrella. The bridge goes across to Han Yugong Temple. I hope you have the opportunity to see it.
