I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

After leaving Ya'an, they continued on their journey, with their next stop being Luding. Luding's most famous landmark is undoubtedly the Luding Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Dadu River, carrying a rich history.

When they stepped onto the Luding Bridge, the surging river was under their feet and the whistling wind was in their ears, as if they could hear the shouts of the Red Army soldiers who fought bravely back then.

Zhang Tingjian, the Little God of Wealth, couldn't help but sigh: "This Luding Bridge is so magnificent. It reminds me of that magnificent history."

Luding Bridge is a unique wonder where history and nature are intertwined.

Luding County, located in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in western Sichuan, is like a bright and resolute pearl inlaid on the Dadu River, exuding endless charm.

The historical heritage of Luding Bridge is like a jar of mellow old wine, which becomes more fragrant the more you taste it.

Dating back to the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, it was born out of the need for multi-ethnic communication and integration. Emperor Kangxi personally wrote the name of the bridge, giving it an extraordinary mission and glory.

However, what really made it famous in history was the thrilling Battle of Luding Bridge during the Red Army's Long March.

On May 29, 1935, the brave Red Army soldiers crawled along the iron chains amidst hail of bullets and raging fire, launching a fearless charge towards the enemy on the opposite bank.

This battle not only demonstrated the Red Army's indomitable will and outstanding fighting spirit, but also opened up a key path to the victory of the Chinese revolution. Luding Bridge has thus become an immortal historical monument, carrying countless heroic stories, attracting future generations to come and commemorate and admire it with reverence.

Its construction is truly exceptional. The bridge is 103.7 meters long and 2.8 meters wide, with 13 tightly linked iron chains forming its main structure. Nine of these chains serve as a solid base to bear the weight, while four provide handrails on either side for pedestrian safety. The 13 iron chains, interlocked, resemble a giant chain dragon spanning the two banks of the Dadu River.

These chains weigh more than 40 tons. Under the conditions at the time, their successful erection based on the rope-crossing principle was undoubtedly a great feat in the history of human bridge construction.

The ancient castles at the bridgeheads on both sides of the river adopt traditional wooden structures with flying eaves and pointed corners, and are antique in style. They not only add a sense of simplicity and solemn beauty to the Luding Bridge, but also have military defense functions, witnessing the vicissitudes of time.

When tourists step onto Luding Bridge, they will have a unique sightseeing experience.

With your feet standing on the wooden planks that have weathered hundreds of years of wind and rain, and your hands holding the cold iron chains, the bridge will sway slightly as you move your feet, as if telling stories from the past.

Looking down, the surging waters of the Dadu River are like thousands of horses galloping, whistling past, splashing layers of white waves, making a deafening sound, which is awe-inspiring.

At this moment, the green mountains, green waters, blue sky and white clouds on the opposite bank seem to have become the background of this magnificent picture.

In the Luding Bridge Scenic Area, the Luding Bridge Revolutionary Relics Museum and the Red Army's Capture of Luding Bridge Monument provide visitors with a window to gain an in-depth understanding of history.

The museum displays a wealth of photos, detailed information and precious objects, vividly reproducing the difficult journey of the Red Army's Long March and the heroic scene of capturing Luding Bridge.

Each exhibit seems to be silently telling the story of that magnificent history, allowing visitors to more intuitively feel the great spirit of the revolutionary predecessors.

The monument to the Red Army's capture of Luding Bridge is solemn and majestic. The title written by Deng Xiaoping is vigorous and powerful, and the inscription written by Nie Rongzhen is full of affection.

The large murals on the eight floors of the monument show the unity between Tibetans and Han Chinese and the magnificent epic of the Red Army's Long March in an exquisite artistic form, allowing people to be moved by that period of history while appreciating the art.

The natural scenery around Luding Bridge is equally charming.

Walking along the Dadu River, you will see steep mountains and lush vegetation on both sides of the river.

In spring, wild flowers bloom all over the mountains. The colorful flowers and the lush green forests complement each other, creating a picturesque scene.

In summer, the river becomes more turbulent due to the influx of rainwater, and cool water vapor fills the air, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot weather.

In autumn, the leaves on the mountains gradually change color. The golden and fiery red leaves sway in the autumn wind. The falling leaves are like butterflies dancing in the air, and finally gently fall on the river and drift with the flow.

In winter, when snowflakes fall, Luding Bridge and the surrounding mountains are covered with snow. The world covered in silver looks like a fairyland, quiet and peaceful.

Food is also an integral part of a trip to Luding. Local specialties, primarily Tibetan and Sichuan cuisine, include the fragrant and delicious butter tea, a rich, hearty drink made with butter, milk, and tea leaves. It warms the body and replenishes energy.

There is also yak jerky, which is made from local high-quality yak beef and is made through multiple processes such as pickling and air-drying. The meat is firm, chewy, delicious, and rich in protein and various nutrients.

Luding jelly is also a popular snack. The jelly has a smooth texture and is served with spicy seasonings, chopped green onions, coriander, etc. It is sour and spicy and delicious, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

In addition, classic Sichuan dishes such as boiled fish and mapo tofu can also be tasted in Luding. They stimulate the taste buds of tourists with their unique flavors of freshness, fragrance, numbness and spiciness.

On a night in Luding, look up at the starry sky. The bright stars fill the entire night sky, and the Milky Way stretches across the sky like a bright ribbon.

Far away from the hustle and bustle and pollution of the city, the starry sky here is exceptionally clear and bright, allowing people to feel the vastness and mystery of the universe.

You can choose to camp at a campsite by the river, fall asleep to the sound of gurgling water and gentle wind, wake up in the morning with the first rays of sunshine, and feel the beauty and tranquility of nature.

Luding Bridge is more than just a bridge; it is a unique place where history and nature, culture and cuisine blend together.

Here, people can travel through time and space, feel the weight and greatness of history; get close to nature, appreciate the grandeur and beauty of mountains and rivers; taste delicious food, and experience the satisfaction and enjoyment of the tongue.

You can also look up at the stars and ponder the mysteries of the universe and the meaning of life. Whether you are a history lover, a natural scenery seeker, a gourmet explorer, or someone seeking spiritual comfort, Luding Bridge can give them an unforgettable and fulfilling travel experience.

Leaving behind a precious and beautiful memory, people will still miss it after leaving and look forward to the next reunion.

Fortunately, we have Zhang Bei, a versatile person, who can record all of this. However, the workload is huge, and it takes several people to help organize all the video dubbings and send them to netizens for viewing.
