The world's most beautiful covered bridge

The Taishun Covered Bridge Culture Park is located in Sixi Town, Taishun County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The park centers around the Beijian Bridge and Xidong Bridge, two wooden arch bridges acclaimed as 'the most beautiful covered bridges in the world', showcasing the architectural aesthetics and historical value of Chinese covered bridges. Beijian Bridge and Xidong Bridge are considered 'living fossils' of Chinese covered bridges, and their traditional wooden arch bridge construction techniques have been inscribed on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding. The Beijian Bridge spans a clear green stream, forming an elegant arc that connects the worlds on both sides. The entire bridge was built without a single nail, and a stone stairway winds its way up. For thousands of years, people have been coming and going along this path, with two ancient trees at the head of the bridge silently shading the passersby. Walking here is like intersecting with the ancients in time and space. The old bridge, bearing the marks of time, tells the vicissitudes of history. The babbling stream below, like a gentle musical movement, adds a touch of tranquility and poetry to the bridge. During the hot summer days, the stream under the bridge becomes a popular place for people to cool off, where they play in the water, enjoying the coolness and joy of summer. The covered bridge is not just a bridge, but also a witness to history and a treasure of the landscape. It has witnessed the changes of the times and carries the emotions and memories of people. Its existence makes the world a more beautiful and richer place. Images 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/11/12/13/14/15 are of Beijian Bridge, while the rest are of Xidong Bridge.
