Gusong Bridge

The Gusong Bridge is situated in the ancient town of Songpan in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. This ancient city looks like a half-moon-shaped piece of jade and is an important place for trades and cultural interactions among people of all ethnic groups in Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai Provinces. Therefore, the Gusong Bridge severs as a vital connection.
