Luanfeng Covered Bridge

鸾峰桥

One of China's largest single-span covered wooden arch bridges, built in the Qing dynasty across Xiadang Creek, and a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit.

Luanfeng Bridge lies in Xiadang Village, Shouning County. It was first built during the Jiaqing reign of the Qing dynasty, and its single span is about 37.6 m, making it one of the largest single-arch covered wooden arch bridges still standing in China. The wooden arch is built using the 'woven timber' technique, topped with a covered gallery and pavilions at both ends. It is a representative work of the 'Traditional Chinese Timber Arch Bridge Construction Techniques,' a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage element, and is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. Beside the bridge are a creek beach and old residences, making it a good spot for photography. It takes about half an hour to visit along with Xiadang Village.
