The triangular-shaped cut-waters, which face upstream, served once to deflect ice floes in winter and storm surges at other times.
Seven meters wide and modified in 1913 to allow motor vehicular traffic, today the Dulin Bridge is principally crossed by tractors, carts, motorbikes, and pedestrians.
This carved balustrade panel narrates a morality tale.
Carved above each upstream arch, water dragons called baxia, said to be good swimmers, serve more as totems to guard the bridge than as mere ornaments.
