Wan'an Bridge
万安桥
A wooden covered arch bridge in Changqiao Town, once the longest of its kind in China. It is being rebuilt after a fire in 2022.
Wan'an Bridge spans the Changqiao Stream in Changqiao Town. First built in the Song dynasty, it has six piers and five spans and is nearly 100 metres long. It is a flagship example of China’s traditional wooden arch bridge construction techniques, an intangible cultural heritage item in urgent need of safeguarding. In August 2022, the bridge was destroyed by fire, and local authorities began rebuilding it using the original techniques. Please confirm the current opening status with local authorities before your trip. It is about 30 kilometres from the county seat and can be visited together with the old village of Changqiao Town.
