Now it is an important bridge for Zhijiang people to cross the river. It is said that there are no nail houses on the bridge.
The bridge was built in the 19th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 159 1) and has experienced vicissitudes for more than 400 years.

In the sixth year of Ming Dynasty (1633), Yuan Zhou, the capital of Yunnan Province, took the lead in donating money to rebuild Yufeng Bridge. Unexpectedly, in the forty-two years of Qing Qianlong (1777), a fire turned the Jinlong Yufeng Bridge into ashes. Since then, restoration, water damage, fire and fighting have been the main themes of this storm bridge. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the government authorities demolished all the corridors and pavilions on the Yufeng Bridge in Jinlong and converted them into stone piers and wooden highway bridges. Zhijiang Airport is the main air base of the Allied Forces, and Jinlong Yufeng Bridge is the main military supply line in the southwest of China. Therefore, the airport and Jinlong Bridge have become the main bombing targets of Japanese planes, with as many as 27 Japanese planes bombing in turn every day. Surprisingly, Jinlong Fengyu Bridge is fragile in the face of floods and fires, but strong and unyielding in the face of the invaders' bombs. No matter how Japanese planes bombed it, it lay safely on the dance floor floating on the water.
