Diping Wind and Rain Bridge
地坪风雨桥
One of the largest Dong wind and rain bridges in southeastern Guizhou, with three multi-eaved pavilions on its deck. Designated a national key cultural relic.
Diping Wind and Rain Bridge is in Diping Town, Liping county. It spans the Nanjiang River and was built during the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty. The bridge is about 57 metres long, with three multi-eaved pavilions along its covered deck, painted under the eaves with scenes of Dong life. It is a prime example of Dong timber covered bridges and is listed as a national key cultural relic. The bridge was washed away by floods in 2004 and later restored using its original components. Visits are free. It's about an hour's drive from Zhaoxing and resembles Chengyang Bridge in Sanjiang, Guangxi, making it a good stop for visitors interested in Dong architecture.
