Longnan Taiping Bridge
Taiping Bridge is located on the Taiping River about three li north of Yangcun Street. It is a two-bay, three-pier, four-arch double-layer overlapping stone arch bridge. The bridge was rebuilt during the Jiaqing to Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty, and its main structure remains well-preserved. The rebuilt Taiping Bridge features a unique design and exquisite craftsmanship. Its four arches overlap in a double-layer configuration, consisting of both brick-wood and brick-stone structures. The bridge is 50 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 17.2 meters high. The lower layer has two bays and three piers, constructed from finely polished granite using a mortar mixture of tung oil, lime, brown sugar, and glutinous rice paste, all meticulously laid.
Transportation
It is 5 kilometers from Longnan County Town and can be reached by taxi, with a starting fare of 3 yuan.
