Lion atop a pillar, Marco Polo Bridge

Lugou Qiao - Marco Polo Bridge
卢沟桥的历史

Yet another lion atop a memorial pillar. Does it get counted in the total? There are a number of memorials at either end of the Marco Polo Bridge. They commemorate repairs and reconstruction efforts through the ages. Below, a camel train passes over the bridge in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
