Xiabanshi Bridge

      Xiabanshi Bridge is a county-level key cultural relic protection unit. It spans the Dangxi Stream in Xiaban Natural Village, Wangdacuo Village, Yangyuan Township, and is a typical eight-character-braced wooden arch covered bridge. Originally built in October of the seventh year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1827), it was rebuilt in August of the eleventh year of the Guangxu reign (1885), with the current structure renovated in June 1987. The bridge is 37.5 meters long, 4.5 meters wide, with an arch span of 18.5 meters and stands 7.5 meters above the water surface. The bridge house features a post-and-lintel wooden frame with a single-eave gable roof. The bridge corridor has 48 pillars arranged in 11 bays. Both sides are equipped with wooden railings and three-tiered eaves, along with various patterned carved windows. The master carpenters responsible for the reconstruction during the Guangxu era were Lin Shiguang and Lin Shibing from Shanghexi, Shouning County.
