Walk to the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge. Find a spot with a clear view of the stone arch bridge and the jade green mountains. The bridge has seven holes and sits in a beautiful natural environment. Wait here as the light begins to change.

Watch the golden light hit the bridge and the water. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the teal waters and the historic structure. This is the perfect moment to take photos or simply absorb the scene.
Local tip
The bridge is the key attraction. The real border is a few kilometers away, so focus on the bridge itself. Check the route for the sightseeing bus if you are not familiar with the area.
Check before you go
- The scenic area opens at 07:00 and closes at 18:00. Ensure you have enough time to enter and reach the bridge before closing.
- Bring cash or a mobile payment method for the 150 RMB total entrance and bus fee.
