However, even though the Lugou Bridge was the starting point of the Sino-Japanese War, walking on it gives no evidence of the war. The blue sky, white clouds, flowing river, square, bridge deck, and lazy tourists sunbathing on the bridge all remain. The stone lions on the bridge still stand to welcome pedestrians. Occasionally, a breeze blows, causing ripples in the calm river and swaying the weeds and flowers on the banks, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene that is almost unimaginable to think of the chaos of war at that time. It is a wonder that the Sino-Japanese War has not eroded the architectural impression of the Lugou Bridge, and the description in Marco Polo's travelogue in the 13th century may be closer to its original style and charm, making people yearn for it.
