About Taishun Covered Bridges
The best-known pair in Sixi is Beijian and Xidong, the 'sister bridges'. Their foundations date to the Qing and Ming periods respectively, but both have histories of later rebuilding and repair. Xidong's covered passage rises into a pavilion-like central roof, making the bridge as much an architectural landmark as a crossing.
Elsewhere in the county, Yongqing Bridge in Sankui uses a cantilevered timber-beam structure. Its internal beam carvings provide a different detail to look for alongside the large arches and layered roofs of the Sixi pair.
What to look for
- Beijian and Xidong, the timber-arch sister bridges in Sixi.
- Xidong Bridge's raised central roof and covered passage.
- Yongqing Bridge's beam structure and carved internal details in Sankui.
