The Yunlong Bridge in Xinglong Mountain, commonly known as Woqiao, stands on the Daxia River and connects Xinglong and Qiyun Mountains. It was originally a pure wood structure with a bridge corridor on the upper side and no bridge pillars on the lower side. The bridge is made of tenon and tenon structures. It was first built in the 28th year of Qianlong, that is, in 1763 A.D. Tang Mingzhong, the former magistrate of Jin County, and Liu Yiming, a Taoist priest, built wooden bridges named "Tanggong Bridge" and "Yingshan Bridge" respectively, and they were all destroyed by mountain torrents. The current bridge was rebuilt in the 26th year of Guangxu, that is, in 1900 AD, Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Gansu Province, allocated money to rebuild it, and the county magistrate Chen Chang renamed it "Yunlong Bridge". The bridge is 6 meters high, 38 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. There are 5 gallery rooms built on the bridge, embedded with bucket arches, and bridge pavilions are built at the east and west ends. Chen Chang believed that the roads connecting the two mountains are connected, and the spiritual energy between the two mountains is also connected, so he named it "Yunlong Bridge", and wrote a couplet: Yunbi Taishan has been raining for many years, and the common people are only for the joy of immortals. I feel that there is a spiritual connection. Yunlong Bridge is one of the ancient buildings of Xinglong Mountain and one of the symbols of Xinglong Mountain. It is the only building on the Daxia River and the only way to climb the mountain. In 1980, it was listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit. In 1981, because the bridge body was tilted at that time, the government allocated funds for reconstruction, changed it to a concrete structure, and repaired the bridge gallery and bridge pavilion. In 1985, the Lanzhou City Garden Bureau repainted the bridge. After deleting the couplet written by Chen Chang, it was written by Zhao Zheng, the vice president of the Gansu Calligraphy Association, and hung in front of the pavilion.
