Niuyang Taiping Bridge

Niuyang Taiping Bridge is located in Laojie Village, Xinjie Town, Xichou County, Wenshan Prefecture. It was first built in the 13th year of the Qianlong reign during the Qing Dynasty (1748), with stone piers added in the 18th year of Qianlong (1753).

It then underwent three major renovations in the 23rd year of the Jiaqing reign (1818), the 4th year of the Xianfeng reign (1854), and the 3rd year of the Xuantong reign (1911), transforming it into a covered corridor bridge. The bridge is 60 meters long in total, featuring uniquely designed oval-shaped piers, cantilevered double-layer bracket beams, five-purlin post-and-lintel construction, and an uninterrupted corridor, all of which showcase remarkable craftsmanship and distinctive character.
