Liu Yin, Chinese, active 18th - 19th centuries (Artist)
Blanketed in mist, Lugou Bridge rests above the rippling waters of the Yongding River. Located in a bustling district in southern Beijing, this bridge was constantly traversed by merchants, travelers, and horse-drawn carriages. Liu’s centuries-old image provides a valuable visual record of the site, as today this section of the river is entirely dried up.

盧溝曉月 橋跨永定河，屬九馗要害畿輔志。月晦五更，他處不見，唯盧溝橋見之，洵八景中奇造也。
