Lu Gou Xiao Yue 

Built in the Jin Dynasty, Lugou Bridge is a large stone bridge with a total length of 266.5 meters and a width of 9.3 meters. Lugou Bridge has 11 holes and 10 piers.

Whenever the moon is bright and stars are rare, looking afar by the railing on the pedestrian bridge, you can enjoy the lush trees on both sides of the bank, the swaying and weeping willows, and the looming green mountains in the distance. Under the bridge at a close view, the water surface is sparkling and the waves are vast. Looking back at the bridge, you can see the silver moonlight, which is one of the ancient "Eight Views of Yanjing" - "Lu Gou Xiao Yue". The name means moon over the Lugou Bridge before dawn.
