Qingyuan, located in southwest Zhejiang, is the hometown of Chinese covered bridges. According to the three-year edition of "Qingyuan County Zhi", Qingyuan County has built more than 230 covered bridges since Songyuan County, and there are more than 130 covered bridges since the Song Dynasty. There are Lanxi Bridge, Shuangmen Bridge, Buqi Bridge, such as Long Bridge, etc. Although most of them have been baptized after years, they are inlaid in the mountains and straddled over the stream valley, which is a gem of ancient Chinese bridge culture. Lanxi Bridge should be the representative work of the existing covered bridge in Qingyuan. Address traffic: Lanxi Bridge, located next to the Xiyang Palace in Wudabao Township, Qingyuan County, Zhejiang Province, just next to the road, 12 kilometers northeast of Qingyuan Daji Ancient Village, you can visit with Daji Ancient Village, self-driving is more convenient, the car can stop on the side of the road. Ticket price: open all day, no tickets. Overall introduction: Lanxi Bridge was built in the second year of Ming Wanli (1574), Qing Qianlong fifty-nine (1794) reconstruction, has a history of more than 400 years, the original site in the downstream "Lanxi Bridge Reservoir" water storage area, 1984 according to the original appearance to the current place, Lanxi Bridge is a large span wooden arch arm porch house The wooden arch bridge, also the largest single-hole span in the Ming Dynasty, cleverly connects the Western Palace with the highway. The bridge is48.12 meters long, 5 meters wide, and9.4 meters high from the river bed. The appearance of the arch is eight-shaped. The wooden arch is the most scientific and technical construction in the same kind of covered bridge. Its arch design of large span is very similar to the Hongqiao in the famous painter Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty "Qingming Shanghe Map", which is an important physical example of studying ancient large span bridges, and has high scientific, artistic value and cultural connotation. The middle of the bridge is a passageway, with benches on both sides for tourists to stop and rest. All the scales on both sides of the bridge are nailed to the wind and rain slabs. They are divided into upper, middle and lower three floors. There are also geometric small windows on the bridge. Walking on the covered bridge, I deeply feel that the covered bridge is not only simple and elegant, but also very practical. Although it has been baptized and tested for more than 400 years, the bridge of Lanxi Bridge is still very stable and has to admire the original design and builder's ingenuity. At present, Lanxi Bridge does not charge tickets, there is a mushroom temple around, you can visit the nearby Daji Ancient Village and Baishanzu National Forest Park.

    Lanxi Bridge is an ancient covered bridge in Qingyuan. The shape is very beautiful. There are gate buildings at the two ends and it is connected with an old building called the West Ocean Palace. When you watch the covered bridge, you can visit the West Ocean Palace with a little stage style.

    The Xiyang Palace on the edge of Lanxi Bridge is the "Mushroom Temple". It is a local people's memorial to Wu San who invented artificially planted mushrooms. It is said that he is seeking financial and spiritual verification. The temple is beautifully carved and lingers.

    The covered bridge in autumn color has a unique scenery, from a distance, the clouds and mists are surrounded by a dignified and simple place, walking through it, the sound of footsteps hitting the board, from Song Ming to the present. The bridge is open on both sides of the shape of small windows, or round like a mirror, or curved like a fan, from each point of view, is a different autumn. My favorite is the creek under the covered bridge, the cool stream winding around my feet, my heart leaps up, breathing a pure air in the countryside, it is a good time of the day.

    Zhejiang Qingyuan, the real sense of the people are less beautiful and niche, especially recommended the free Xiyangdian Scenic Area, very suitable for friends to drive here, play in the water, enjoy the flowers and climb the mountain to pray. There is also a unique covered bridge building, a long-lost good scenery
