7 best-kept experiences within easy reach of Beijing Daxing International Airport - SilverKris

"An important stone river bridge dating back to the late 12th century and little changed since a 1698 restoration, notable for its 11 balustraded arches studded with carved stone lions. The ornate lion carvings are highly photogenic but come with a local legend—counting them is said to be perilous, and modern guidebooks wildly disagree on the total (ranges quoted between 140 and 501), giving the exercise a mischievous reputation. The bridge sits in Fengtai district and retains much of the historic appearance recorded by early travellers." - Peter Neville-Hadley
