About Bing'an Ancient Town

Donghua and Taiping gates mark the old town’s approaches. At Shuanglong Bridge, look for the carved dragons that give the bridge its name. The most rewarding details are the changing levels between street, house supports and river, so keep to the public paths and inspect the structures from safe viewpoints.

What to look for

  • Cliffside timber houses reveal their supporting structure above the river.
  • Donghua and Taiping gates and the carved dragons of Shuanglong Bridge provide close architectural details.
