About Dawenkou Ancient Stone Bridge
A long stone-slab bridge over the Dawen River on the southern edge of Dawenkou town, first built in the Longqing reign (1567–72) of the Ming dynasty. It runs for about 571 m between the town and Ningyang County, on slabs 3.5 m long and 52 cm wide laid five abreast, and the slabs still carry wheelbarrow ruts. It became a national protected unit in 2013 and is an easy stop alongside the Dawenkou Site.
