Shuanglin is a water town with dense rivers and ports criss-crossing each other. Shuanglin Town was founded on water and built according to water, with a chessboard layout. When you go out to wade in the water, you will see the bridge with your steps, twists and turns.

Shuanglin has a lot of water and many bridges. Although many bridges have disappeared in the sunset of history, their names still exist and are spread in the songs of the people in the water town...

There are now two versions of the bridge song about Shuanglin:

"Missing Shuanglin's "Hometown Bridge"" by Jiang Juying

In contrast, the Shuanglin Bridge compiled by Jiang Juying The song is more comprehensive, but it is not easy to verify these bridges, because many of the bridges here have long since disappeared. Most of the bridges mentioned in the songs in "Shuanglin Town Chronicles" still exist and are relatively well preserved.

Shuanglin is surrounded by water and connected by bridges. The town used to have small rivers and stone bridges everywhere. It is a typical Jiangnan water town with small bridges, flowing water and people.

Shuanglin has the legend of a phoenix spreading its wings, as well as the layout of Qipan Street. Both the legend and the layout are related to the water system and bridges.

Shuanglin used to be surrounded by rural areas with extensive bridge traffic: Yangdao Bridge and Guanyin Bridge in the south; Wanyuan Bridge, Tangqiao (Huacheng Bridge), and Wankui Bridge in the north; Hongqiao, Wangyue Bridge; West Gaoqiao.

Not only are there bridges on all sides for transportation, but in the town, due to the dense water system, the entire town is divided into many small squares (like a chessboard), and bridges are also needed for communication.

Shuanglin once had the layout of Shangxing Street and Xiaheng Street. A small river ran through the town from east to west. There were many businesses on both sides of the river, and the bridge connected the two sides, from east to west. There are also three small bridges connecting the north and the south.

There is also a Shen River flowing east to west. The Shen River flows gracefully. There are many stone bridges on the river, among which the famous ones are: Hejie Bridge, Shenjia Bridge, Old Man Bridge, etc. Nowadays, these bridges have been renovated to facilitate traffic. In history, these bridges were all perfectly shaped, with stone steps, the King of Wu leaning on them, and water basins. Every stone bridge is a scenery.

Bridges are not only traffic on both sides, but also cultural landscapes.

In the Jiangnan water towns, bridges are a symbol of culture. Some important bridges have bridge inscriptions and bridge couplets engraved on them.

Temples are often built at both ends of the bridge. On the one hand, they are convenient, and on the other hand, they also have the meaning of benefiting all living beings.
