The area has three enormous stone arch bridges—Tianlong (Sky Dragon), Qinglong (Green Dragon), and Heilong (Black Dragon)—which form the largest group of natural stone bridges in Asia.
The sheer scale of the bridges is incredible, with their arches towering over 100 meters above the ground. The natural beauty of the surrounding gorges and cliffs creates an almost otherworldly atmosphere. It's no wonder the site has been used as a filming location for movies like Curse of the Golden Flower and Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Visitors typically start their journey at the tourist center in Xiannv Town, where you can take a shuttle bus to the site. A glass elevator takes you down into the gorge, providing an amazing perspective of the massive arches above.
