[2025 Taishun Attraction] Travel Guide for Xidong Bridge (Updated Oct)

Xidong Bridge is located in Baifenqiang Village, Sixi Town, 500 meters southeast of Beijian Bridge. It is named after the Dongxi River that spans it. It was first built in the fourth year of the Longqing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1570) and rebuilt in the tenth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1745). It was rebuilt in the seventh year of Daoguang's reign (1827). It is a stacked-beam wooden arch bridge with a length of 41.7 meters, a width of 4.86 meters and a clear span of 25.7 meters. With flying eaves and pointed corners and a palace-style double-eaved attic in the center, it is majestic and beautiful. It is the best-shaped wooden arch bridge in Taishun. Next to Xidong Bridge are the largest Linshui Temple in southern Zhejiang and Chen Daweng Palace, which are places for villagers to pray and hold sacrifices.

. The Xidong Bridge, one of the sister bridges of Sixi, which is known as the most beautiful covered bridge in the world, is often overlooked. In fact, its structure is said to be the most beautiful.

I really didn't expect that Taishun in mid-September would have more than 30 degrees. Although it caught up with the high temperature and humidity, it did not affect the good mood of the old babies, because Taishun is indeed a very beautiful treasure county. As usual, taking parents to travel mainly focuses on ancient sites and villages, and leave the climbing and adventure to me next time. The 2-day itinerary is as follows Day1: Hu's Mansion - Shishui Step - Beijian Bridge - Xidong Bridge Day2: Tatu Ancient Village - Xuwa Ancient Village - Ku Village Hu's Mansion 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The ancestral home of the Hu family in Xuexi, a national key cultural relics protection unit. Locally, it is also called Shimen Building. It is a rare three-courtyard-style residence in the south of the Yangtze River. It combines the local customs of southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian. Not only is it large in scale, but it is also very exquisite in production. Especially the walls of various materials and uses are worth seeing. The nearly 300-year-old Hu's Mansion took more than 40 years to complete, and there are still descendants living in it. Going to Hu's Mansion to see ancient buildings also sees Chinese traditional clan culture. Shishui Step 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, it is a prototype of ancient bridges and a national key cultural relics protection unit. The short 130-meter stone pier bridge is behind the traditional Chinese benevolence, warmth, and the construction skills that combine beauty and practicality. Beijian Bridge & Xidong Bridge 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The most beautiful gallery bridge in the world, a national key cultural relics protection unit. I unilaterally believe that Beijian Bridge is the most unmissable scenic spot in Taishun. It is not only beautiful in architecture, but also beautiful in its integration with the surrounding environment. Time, nature, life, architecture, all elements are indispensable, to create this unique Beijian Bridge. Xuwa Ancient Village 🌟🌟🌟🌈 It should be the most famous ancient village in Taishun, the filming location of 'Happy Trio', and the 800-year-old Xuwa is full of southern Zhejiang rural atmosphere. Most tourists will come for the homestays in the village. The village itself is not big, it is recommended to come when there are folk activities. Ku Village 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The 1200-year-old Ku Village is the oldest and most complete ancient village in Taishun. With the labels of 'Tang and Song Dynasty relics' and 'Hidden Stone Village', the architecture is very distinctive. The stone houses, stone roads, stone doors built with pebbles, and buildings with Song Dynasty style are like opening the door to time travel. There were not many shops open when I went, and if you just stroll around, you can finish it in less than an hour. Tatu Ancient Village 🌟🌟🌟 It has basically been rebuilt into a resort, suitable for homestay vacations. There are fewer things to see. tips: All the above attractions do not require tickets. Taishun attractions are relatively scattered, more suitable for self-driving, there are parking lots around the attractions. If you don't have a rural vacation plan, it is recommended to stay in the county town.
