Marathon at lixue

The road of Longquan Grand Canyon is a figure of eight. In order to complete the journey, we also circumvented two laps without fear of hardships, starting from the Tongtian Bridge and continuing to the Du Fu Valley. The Grand Canyon and the Yellow Point are relatively labor-intensive and need to climb up and down. It takes about 2-3 hours to complete the journey. Through the suspension bridge, it is the stone steps that continue to climb up. After going up to a viewing platform, the front view becomes very open. The entire hillside is full of green and green, and the mist that has not come to the end is like a light silk, wrapped around its waist, like a dream. Under the mountain, there are all green forests. There are many pine trees here, which are quite straight and blue. The mountains in the distance are high and low, undulating and tumbling, and suddenly disappeared in the misty clouds, if they leave. The stream of water that flickers in the valley is the two-fold waterfall we are going to. It is said that after the rhododendrons are opened in May and June, the Rhododendron Valley will become full of vitality and vitality. The time we came seems to be a little earlier. The azaleas along the way are not too many. The companions said that the rhododendrons are not the azaleas. Imagine the redness of the valley, how beautiful it is!

Covered bridges, also known as bridges with eaves, serve as landscape landmarks and are places for trade gatherings and festival celebrations. They embody the aesthetic imagery of Chinese culture and represent the highest level of ancient wooden arch bridge construction techniques in China and the world. Among the national key cultural relics protection units, there are a total of 138 covered bridges, most of which are hidden in the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian. Taishun's wooden arches form rainbows over streams, earning it the reputation of the 'Hometown of Chinese Covered Bridges'. The most astonishing are the 'woven wooden arch bridges' that span between high mountains and valleys without using a single nail or rivet, connected only by mortise and tenon joints. Where there is a bridge, there is a deity; where there is a deity, there is a temple. In many remote mountainous areas, shrines are enshrined within the covered bridges, pavilions are erected, and they are often combined with stages, forming places for the gathering and entertainment of gods and people. Sometimes, multiple groups of shrines and temples accompany the bridgeheads and tails, forming complex ritual sites. The covered bridge is a sacred and leisurely public space, as well as the activity center of the town. When the covered bridge acquires the sacredness of space, it becomes the ceremonial site for festivals, weddings, and funerals, and serves as the boundary and geomantic node of the village. Heidegger said: The bridge gathers heaven, earth, gods, and humans to itself in its own way. The covered bridge is a combination of rural social order and folk construction skills, and it has also become a special aspect to examine traditional Chinese construction and rural society.

There is no need for admission tickets, no parking fees, no shuttle buses, and no queuing for photos. The entire village is surrounded by mountains, with an altitude of over 800 meters. A small stream runs through the village, and surprisingly, this small village has five ancient covered bridges, three of which are national key cultural relics protection units.
