In the rainy period to see the bridge, pay attention to rain and moisture, wear waterproof and non-slippery shoes; if you want to take pictures, bring a folding umbrella is more convenient, the hotel accommodation will be brought to the shower cap, used for the camera's rain cover is also very good; along the route of the attractions are mostly suitable for camping, bring outdoor tent and equipment, with the bridge. The most suitable sites along the route for camping, with outdoor tents and equipment, and the corridor bridge *** sleep, can experience a picturesque mood.
Knowledge Preparation:
1, corridor bridge, as the name suggests, is a bridge with eaves, wooden arch, stone arch and flat wood. In many ancient bridges, wooden arch corridor bridge is highly favored. Wooden arch corridor bridge is also called wooden structure stacked beam through the wooden arch bridge, it is interspersed with beams don't pressure to form an arch bridge, in the body of the bridge simply can't find a nail, shaped like a rainbow, and its long history and superb skills, in the history of China's bridges occupies an important position. Taishun locals call the corridor bridge "centipede bridge", and Shouning people will corridor bridge commonly known as "Alley Bridge".
2, Taishun existing bridges totaled 958, including wooden arch corridor bridge, wooden flat corridor bridge and stone arch corridor bridge, including the Ming and Qing Dynasty corridor bridge more than thirty. Among them, there are 6 wooden-arched corridor bridges which occupy an important position in the history of bridges in the world, i.e., Sisters Bridge in Sisi, Xue Residence Bridge in Sanqui, Xianju Bridge in Xiannim, Wenxing Bridge in Shiaocun, and Sanjiao Bridge in Shouning County. Shouning County is currently preserved in the territory of the corridor bridge nearly a hundred, of which well-preserved wooden arch corridor bridge **** there are 19, you can go to the slow look.
★ Dilemma and Countermeasures
1, the corridor bridge has a "cross look into the ridge side into the peaks" of the beauty of the different angles can be seen in different landscapes, for the first time to come to the people who want to find a look at the corridor bridge is not easy to see the best angle, the best way is to travel before, to collect some information, especially more! The best way is to collect some information before traveling, especially more look at the excellent picture photography, to ask the locals is the most direct and effective way.
2, most of the corridor bridge distribution in the townships and villages, the trip to be limited by the frequency of shuttle buses, so before the trip, we must ask the driver to listen to the last class of the return car time, and cell phone timer to remind, lest because of the greed of the corridor bridge scenery and miss the return trip car. Chartered tours in the schedule on the arbitrary, the local tourists more, if you can find a few people carpooling on the best.
★ Cost
Compared to the tens or hundreds of tickets, the bridge is definitely worth seeing. With no entrance fee and relatively reasonable value for money accommodation along the way, this is a great route for self-guided tours. But the local food is more expensive, probably because of the rising cost due to the lack of transportation.
Self-abuse tour 300 yuan (accommodation standards do not exceed 15 yuan or bring their own camping equipment, each meal to eat as the principle of full, more rice noodles or fast food); standard tour of 700 yuan (accommodation in ordinary hotels, standard rooms, to eat, you can order two dishes); corruption tour of 1500 yuan (you can chartered tour of some of the attractions, live in star-rated hotels, taste the local characteristics of the food).
★ Walker's Notes:
Looking for that rainbow left behind on the earth
On the way to Taishun, the car in the verdant mountains circled dizzying, vertical and horizontal streams swept through the windows, and dazzling. So, here on the corridor bridge seems to find its own explanation - if there is no corridor bridge, green mountains and green water is how isolated, how lonely ah.
Taishun corridor bridge: a unique place to stay
We did not go to the county town of Taishun Luoyang town, but in the town of Sankui get off. The first thing you need to do is get out of the car and head straight for the town's Xuezhai Bridge. Xuezhai Bridge across the Jinxi River, although the wood is gray, but this bridge is long and diagonal, the head of the bridge slope 30 °, looks very powerful. Stepping on the green stone paved steps to walk across the arch bridge, which found the slope of the bridge is surprising, vaguely feel the bridge more than a hundred years to carry the weight of the power.
To the SiXi ancient town, you will experience the flavor of the paradise. Here, surrounded by green hills, the stream gurgling, in the middle of it, as if stepping into a scroll of the countryside. Beijian Bridge and Xidong Bridge, known as the "sister bridges", are the most eye-catching part of the picture scroll. Beijian Bridge across the north stream, the shape of simple and chic, beautiful and robust, from a distance, people feel that not only the bridge, but the God left the colorful practice on earth, the eyes can not help but light up. Beijian Bridge is very capable of giving life to an experience of integration. Walking on the bridge under the bridge, as if they have long been living here for hundreds of years, or the bridge coats the girl, or cattle walking across the bridge stone street shepherd boy, or carrying a baking cage leaning against the bridge immersed in the memories of the old man ...... Otherwise, how would there be a sense of déjà vu, the bridge must have appeared in their own dreams about their hometowns. So, the corridor bridge has become a suitable place to daze, listening to the bridge under the stream as time flows away, looking at the bridge in the distance out of focus, vaguely then feel walk thousands of mountains wading through the water, just to the corridor bridge to find that sheltered from the wind and rain roof.
Beijian Bridge bridge has two trees over a thousand years old camphor tree, the ancient gnarled branches overhanging, such as the guardian of the ancient bridge of the dragon, the bridge will set off more and more beautiful and beautiful. According to modern architectural experts, the gnarled roots of the trees can also firmly grasp the soil and rocks around the bridge foundation, which can play a role in reinforcing the soil and water.
Because of the novel and movie "Remains of the Bridge", the bridge has become synonymous with romance in many people's minds. In the face of Beijian Bridge, I can not speculate, the author of the novel or movie director if lucky to come here, I do not know what they will interpret for these bridges of romantic pure beauty story.
Not far from Beijian Bridge, the upper reaches of Dongxi River, there is also a bridge with its "sister bridges", Xidong Bridge, Xidong Bridge's surroundings are not as bad as the Beijian Bridge, the modeling is quite similar to the Beijian Bridge - the bridge builder is the disciple of the man who repaired the Beijian Bridge, who was also the disciple of the man who repaired the Beijian Bridge. The bridge builder was the apprentice of the person who built the Beijian Bridge, so some people also call these two bridges "master and apprentice bridges". The Xidong Bridge has a much better appearance, with heavy eaves and protruding cornices, quite like the atmosphere of a deep house. On Xidong Bridge, I was surprised to see two tents, which made me envious for a long time. For people who have been living in the city for a long time, it is a great pleasure to spend a night here and enjoy the simplicity and purity of the bridge. Although I could not stay overnight, I decided to stay in Sisi, so that I could get up early in the morning to see the bridge in the morning sun.
The purpose of going to Xiaocun is for Wenxing and Wenzhong Bridges. Wenxing Bridge is located not far from the highway next to the village of Kengbian, the bridge is unique in that its middle part is tilted, while the height of the riverbanks on both sides is equal, and the building on the bridge is not crooked, so it can only be said that the bridge was tilted when it was built. Legend has it that the bridge was invited two craftsmen to build, two craftsmen are not convinced by each other, each according to the idea of building up from both sides of the head, together only to find that the height of the two sides are not the same, had to build the middle part of the tilt. Wen Chongqiao is a stretch arm beam wooden flat corridor bridge, the bridge body does not have a round arch, but its top for the heavy eaves of the roof, very chic, it is worth a look.
The reason for going to Choling Township is to see Yuk Moon Bridge and Sanjo Bridge. Yuk Man Bridge is not boarded up on both sides, but lattice wood carvings, and the top of the corridor bridge is adorned with a spire, making it look very showy. Sanjiao Bridge is the oldest wooden arch bridge in Taishun, naturally can not be missed. The three bridges have simple lines, the green hills on both sides of the column, the blue water flowing under the bridge, the scenery is very pure. Tang tiles were found when the bridge was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, and later tiles from the Song "Shaoxing" period were found on the eaves. Therefore, it has been speculated that the Sanjiao Bridge may have been built in the Tang Dynasty, and then the wooden arch bridge in Taishun may be the Rainbow Bridge that the Northern Song painter Zhang Zeduan included in the later famous "Qingming Riverside Drawing". It would be so exciting if it is really the rainbow bridge that has long disappeared. There is an anonymous poem on the weather board of Sanjiao Bridge, "I often remember May, when I laughed with you. The mountains are green and the water is blue, but where are the faces of the people going? I've been in love with you, and I've been standing by the water's edge. The streams are hard to send, let the east flow away." In the old corridor bridge, read the words, as if reading a misty and poignant love story.
There is no corridor bridge in Siyang, but there is an anchor port. Anchor port is a kind of road instead of a bridge, that is, the stone plate evenly inserted in the river for people to walk. Shi Yang Xidong Village, Shi Shui Anchor Port has 233 steps, parallel to the high and low levels, for two people to walk in parallel. Walking through the anchorages has a unique and original flavor. At first, I was not used to it, so I said I was walking, but I said I was jumping on the anchorages, which made the children who were walking on the stone boards giggle. Comparing the anchorages with the bridge, my understanding of the bridge became stronger. Return to Sanqui passing through the snow creek, by the way, get off to see the Hu's compound, but also some years of an old mansion, if anything, is interesting, is that this old mansion is not treated as a cultural relics for the up, but live in people, coincidentally, in the birthday banquet, lively, and the children a burst of laughter, and it is a false trip.
Shouning Gallery Bridge: the original hermit wind
Southwest Zhejiang to Taishun as the representative of the gallery bridge is already famous, and both from the number and quality than Taishun Gallery Bridge inferior to the East Fujian Gallery Bridge, but hidden in the mountains no one knows, let the wind and rain face old. Shouning is the East Fujian wooden arch corridor bridge more concentrated county. Shouning tourists much less than Taishun, where the corridor bridge is also more ecological.
Shouning County, the city of several corridor bridge, no tourists weaving, so that people can savor the corridor bridge heritage; not a tourist attraction, but also more than a few points of the original flavor. Xian Gong Bridge in the vicinity of the bus station, the bridge has a lot of people playing cards and leisure, very lively, and burn incense to worship the god of the old man's piety is not at all because of the noise and discount. At night, Xiangong Bridge is decorated with colorful lights, reflecting the river is very beautiful. Shengping Bridge is not far away from Xiangong Bridge and is also in the downtown area. Although the surrounding environment has been trying to modernize, but these two bridges are still quiet, like two hermits living in the downtown area. Flying Cloud Bridge in the suburbs, there is a Guanyin Pavilion next to the bridge, every morning and evening you can see the old lady at the bridge burning incense to the four directions to worship. Yangmei Bridge surrounding environment is very rural interest, the bridge is not repaired, no carving, such as a welcome burst of fresh field winds, so I can not bear to leave.
The Shuiwei Bridge in Rhinoceros Township is the most representative corridor bridge in Shouning, the Shuiwei Bridge has a large span, the entire bridge is surrounded by a guard plate, the guard plate has a small number of gourd-shaped light holes, the bridge will be a change in the light of the dim, which is different from the style of the corridor bridges in Taishun County.
Stepping on the road home, all the way to see the silhouette of the corridor bridge is still lingering in front of me. The beauty of the corridor bridge, the heart of the film to shoot.
Not only is the bridge, but also the art of life
