About Weiyuan Baling Bridge
Layers of projecting round beams rise from the banks to support the curved deck without a pier in the stream. The roofed corridor and bridgehead pavilions turn a practical crossing into a place for inscriptions and shelter. Look at the structure from the riverbank before entering the passage: the exterior explains an ingenious construction that is less obvious from inside.
What to look for
- The layered timber supports forming the pier-free span.
- The covered passage and its bridgehead inscriptions and plaques.
