Sanjiang Wind-and-Rain Bridge
三江风雨桥
A modern Dong-style wind-and-rain bridge spanning the Xun River and linking the old and new parts of the county town. It is about 368 metres long, with five pavilions, and its night lights reflect on the river.
Sanjiang Wind-and-Rain Bridge was built around 2010 and is about 368 metres long. It is a pedestrian bridge over the Xun River linking the old town of Guyi with the new Hedong district. It follows the traditional Dong wind-and-rain bridge form, with several tower-like pavilions along its length, and is said to be among the longest timber wind-and-rain bridges in the world. During the day you can enjoy the river breeze on the bridge and look at the stilted houses on both banks. After dusk the whole bridge is lit, echoing the Sanjiang Drum Tower across the river, making it the most photogenic night view in town. Free to cross. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Drum Tower Square, ideal for a stroll after dinner.
