Wind-Rain Cool Bridge

Located to the south of Shizilu Village, Dingzhai Township, Xianfeng County. Originally named "Zhanlong Bridge" or "Xian Dong Bridge," it was first built in the early Qing Dynasty, repaired during the Xianfeng era, and rebuilt in the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916) with funding donated by Qin Chaopin, a former imperial councilor. It spans the Yemao River to the east. This three-pier, four-arch wooden wind-rain bridge is 44.8 meters long and 4 meters wide. The bridge deck features 13 covered pavilions with single-eave gable-and-hip roofs, and diagonal cross-braces between the columns. (Third Batch)
