Lugou Bridge（卢沟桥）

Lugou Bridge is the oldest multi-arched stone bridge in the Beijing area. It was built during the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of over 800 years.

Lugou Bridge has witnessed the changes in Chinese history and the struggles of its people. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was an important transportation hub on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, carrying a significant amount of trade and people. During the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lugou Bridge became a critical strategic location. The "Lugou Bridge Incident" on July 7, 1937, marked the full-scale outbreak of the war, becoming an important milestone in modern Chinese history.

Today, Lugou Bridge has become an important tourist attraction. Visitors can appreciate the ancient architecture and the historical marks of the stone pavement. The nearby Xiaoyue Lake, clear as a mirror, reflects the beauty of the bridge, providing a sense of tranquility and comfort.

Walking on Lugou Bridge, one can feel the weight of history and its grandeur while remembering the red history and promoting the great spirit of the War of Resistance.
