Wuma Bridge
五马桥
An ancient stone bridge across the Longchuan River, and the gateway to Heijing's old town. Legend says it was first built in the Yuan dynasty, and its name means "five horses galloping, all the people at peace."
Wuma Bridge is a stone arch bridge linking the two banks of the Longchuan River. It is also the required route into Heijing's main street from the station direction. The bridge is said to date from the Dade era of the Yuan dynasty (around 1301) and has been rebuilt many times. Its name carries the wish for "five horses galloping and the people living in peace." From the bridge you can see the Longchuan River gorge and the old houses on both banks, and the views are best toward evening. Crossing is free. Head north past the bridge to reach the old street and Qing'an Embankment, which makes this a good starting point for a walking tour.
