Puente Viejo

Longda Old Bridge is a bridge connecting the old and new cities of Longda. Compared with the spectacular new bridge, the old bridge is very inconspicuous. Although it has been repaired by fracture, the reconstructed old bridge is also 400 years old. This is a good place to enjoy the scenery of Longda Old Town.

Unlike Xinqiao, there are not many visitors to Laoqiao. It insists on its original position silently, witnesses history, and seems to have a sense of precipitation of years. A pair of expedition teams followed them along the cliff path, which seemed to start from the surrounding horse farm, waded to the mine at the bottom of King Moore, and then returned to the road along the mine tunnel.

Longda Old Bridge is not far from Longda New Bridge, but its fame and momentum are far inferior to Longda New Bridge. However, the old Longda Bridge has a longer history than the new Longda Bridge, and it is worth seeing. In addition, it is good to walk across the old Longda Bridge and enjoy the new Longda Bridge from another angle. So it's still a good idea to come and walk here.

Compared with the new bridge, the old bridge has a slightly lower popularity, and for many tourists who come and go on the same day, especially team tours, they may give up here. In fact, the scenery around the old bridge is very good. It can appreciate the Moore style of the white town and overlook the countryside and mountain scenery. Recommend a restaurant near Laoqiao (turn right through the arch). It's quite pleasant to have afternoon tea here.

Hemingway's masterpiece "Whom the Bell Tolls for?" tells the story of Longda Town residents beating "Fascists" to death with sticks and flails and throwing the body off the cliff. The magnificent new bridge, built in 1793, spans the Tahoe Canyon and the turbulent Eltaho River below. The stones used to build the bridge are mostly from the stones at the bottom of the Eltaho River. New Bridge is the main road connecting the old and new urban areas, and it is the most ornamental scenery of Longda. Recommendations for the new bridge :First, at the end of the Tahoe Shade Walking Trail, that is, from the Spanish Square, but the bridge turns right, there is a viewing platform to enjoy the new bridge and the house on the cliff; Second, to give two Euros to the bottom of the bridge (which we did not try, Pigtou felt worthless); Third, if you do not want to spend money but are willing to exert energy, you can imagine me* Just like you, after walking through the small shops of Souvenirs EL Antojo de la Muralla, notice that there is a hidden path on the right hand side. Walk along the path, which is the direction to the new bridge. It's very good to see the new bridge and overlook the scenery of Tahoe Canyon. But be careful, it's dangerous.
