Introduction to Jinsuo Bridge: Jinsuo Bridge is located near the Elephant Trunk Hot Spring, across the Longdong River and leaning against the Elephant Trunk Ridge to the west. It looks like a rainbow lying on golden waves, just like a golden toad playing with a jade belt, which is spectacular. The bridge was built in the 10th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1745). It is a single-hole double arc spire stone arch bridge with a surface width of 9 meters, a total length of 37 meters, and a height of 14 meters. The span of the bridge hole is 18 meters, the inner arc radius is 11.5 meters, and the sag height is 2.1 meters. It is one of the largest single-hole stone arch bridges in Yunnan Province. There is a stone square on the north side of the middle of the bridge and a Guanyin Pavilion on the south. It is symmetrical from north to south, has a unique structure, exquisite stone carvings and a beautiful environment. The scenery around Jinsuo Bridge is pleasant, with green bamboos growing beside the bridge, gurgling water under the bridge, and green trees on both sides. Although it has experienced many earthquakes and weathering, it still stands tall.
