This is an image of Leshan taken by a Frenchman in 1914... The bridge in the photograph is Zhanggong Bridge; I could tell from the holes in the bridge railing.

But in my memory, Zhanggong Bridge didn't have those dragon heads. Also, you can see the mountain right behind it, which shows that during Leshan's later development, a large portion of the mountain was cut away. Carefully considering, every time we complain about the traffic congestion at Zhanggong Bridge, actually compared to 1914, this place is already much wider now.
