Shiping County. Huilan Bridge Pavilion. The Huilan Bridge Pavilion is located at the eastern outlet of Yilong Lake. The Huilan Bridge Pavilion was first built in the early years of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with a length of 19 meters, a width of 6.2 meters, and a height of 19.05 meters. It is a three-tiered, three-bucket, three-arched, two-story, one-bottom building, combining a double-eave pointed roof with a double-eave hipped roof. The third floor in the middle is an octagonal pavilion with raised beams, with two pavilions standing on the left and right, a total of five openings. Below the pavilion is the lake mouth river, with a single-hole stone arch bridge built on it. The bridgehead originally had a lion on the left and an elephant on the right, and inside the pavilion were plaques such as 'Huilan Stacked Green', 'Dragon Lake Key', 'South Lake Mercy', and 'Buddhist Temple of Eternal Spring'. The Huilan Bridge Pavilion is a relatively well-preserved ancient building with water conservancy functions in southern Yunnan. As a water conservancy project that still continues its original function, it is an important water conservancy facility in the Pearl River West Source-Yilong Lake Basin.
