The three bridges are in a ‘pin’ shape and span at the intersection of three rivers, naturally forming a circular street. Along the river are bluestone revetments. The weeping willows and privet shrubs on the banks are reflected in the water. There are flower and stone railings on both banks. Boats come and go in the river, in pairs. People come and go on the bridges, and laughter ripples. The scenery is as beautiful as a painting, and people can forget all their worries here. This has become a unique scenery in the ancient town.
