The Bridges of Taishun County
Timber from the mountains around Taishun provides a rich resource for bridge
building. The idea to cover the bridges was a practical one, as Taishan County
annually gets heavy rainfall. And as many wooden bridges are built in mountains
and remote areas far from villages, passers-by can take cover inside them in
case of rain.
Covered bridges provide not only a route for transportation but also can
serve as shelter or venues for worship and entertainment.
