🌉✨Shaxi’s Ancient Stone Bridge "Yujin Bridge (玉津桥)"

#chinatravel

Located beside the cobbled lanes of Shaxi Old Town, the Yujin Bridge (玉津桥) is more than just a crossing — it’s a living piece of the ancient Tea Horse Road. Built in the Ming Dynasty, this elegant stone arch once welcomed mule caravans carrying tea, salt, and silk between Yunnan and Tibet.

Today, it’s a peaceful spot where locals wash vegetables in the river, children play, and travelers pause for golden-hour photos under the whisper of history. With the Cangshan Mountains in the background and centuries under its stones, this bridge is a quiet icon of Shaxi’s timeless charm.

📍 Just a few steps from Sideng Square, Shaxi Ancient Town
📸 Come at sunset for the dreamiest reflections and a touch of the past.
