1300 years old 'iron bull'
There are 4 iron bull's at this historic site that represent the 4 ancient nations of China and they are estimated to be around 1300 years old. The bulls secured a huge river bridge spanning the mighty Yellow river. The river has since changed it's course and left this now dry land with this wonderful sight. It's amazing how they could forge iron to this standard 1300 years ago..
