Enshi Wind and Rain Bridge

　　The Enshi Wind and Rain Bridge was completed in March 2004, located over the Qingjiang River within Enshi, connecting the east and west banks of the river. To the east, it faces Shizhou Avenue, and to the west, it connects with Fenghuangshan Forest Park. It is a pedestrian bridge. The main bridge has two levels: the lower level is a pedestrian walkway, 18 meters wide and 96 meters long; the upper level houses the “Qinghe Garden” teahouse. The entire bridge combines an ancient charm and ethnic characteristics with a modern vibe and scenic pedestrian design.

　　The Enshi Wind and Rain Bridge is the only bridge in Enshi that spans the Qingjiang River as a pedestrian bridge, with a construction cost of 17 million yuan. The “Wind and Rain Bridge” is a unique type of transportation structure among ethnic minority groups. The bridge features corridors, pavilions, small shops, benches, and more. It serves not only as a passage for pedestrians but also as a shelter from rain, a place to cool off, and a spot to rest—hence the name “Wind and Rain Bridge.” The pavilions on the bridge rise prominently, with upturned eaves and flying rafters, making for a striking sight.
