Chengyang Wind and Rain Bridge
Chengyang Wind and Rain Bridge, also called Yongji Bridge or Panlong Bridge, spans the Linxi River of Sanjiang County. Built in 1916, it is 64.4 meters long, 3.4 metes wide, and 10.6 meters high. Constructed with wood and stones, the surface of the bridge is paved with wooden boards and both sides are inlaid with railings. On the bridge itself, there are five tower-like kiosks with 'horns' and eaves that resemble the flapping wings of birds.
