Encounters and encounters are suitable for me. At that time in July, the Qianjiang World's First Wind and Rain Covered Bridge was even more bright and moving, enchanting and charming. Strolling on the covered bridge, looking at the pen and ink green mountains in the day, and looking at the moon into the curtain at night.
Located in the core area of southeast Chongqing, the Qianjiang River gathers the aura of the landscape and the ancient town of Maoshui is located in it. The bridge across the Apeng River in the ancient town is the longest covered bridge in the world - the world's first wind and rain covered bridge. The bridge body spans two rivers, stretching and undulating, magnificent, like a beautiful rainbow, lying on the Apeng River.
The whole Maoshui Wind and Rain Covered Bridge, not only for the world's first length of covered bridge, in the form, structure, craftsmanship to achieve the combination of tradition and modernity, the combination of Chinese and European, the combination of Oriental architectural aesthetics and Western architectural aesthetics, but also the traditional wooden covered bridge and the use of glulam and steel frame combination of a new structural way, to achieve a new exploration and attempt in architecture.
The total length of the wind and rain covered bridge is 658 meters, and because of its different shapes and construction ages, it can be divided into four sections.
The first section is "Maohe Huaiyuan", the bridge is 310 meters long, and there is a tower pavilion built on the bridge, and the highest point is the central attic. The whole bridge body uses heavy eaves, roofing, Tujia point platform, cornice lifting and multi-layer folding and other techniques to create a unified and varied bridge body form, and the shape is particularly simple and elegant.
The second section of the Tang Bell is 105 meters long, and the central bell tower part is 26 meters high and has four floors. This section is composed of corridors and bell towers, and the central position is a towering hilltop bell tower with heavy eaves, and a mouth imitating a Tang bronze bell is hung.
The third section of the rainbow has a wavelength of 97 meters, the bridge crosses the Puhua River, is a single arch bridge body combined with a curved bridge body, the lines are soft, like a brilliant rainbow.
The fourth section of the Puhua Flying Dragon is 146 meters long, combined with a curved roof and modern grille piers, and the façade is based on the overall form of the dragon, metaphorically taking off across the river with the water.

If you are in a hurry, you can come to a bowl of mung bean flour with a unique flavor to fill your hunger, or you can come to a snack "horse rolling", holding a bowl, while walking and eating while enjoying the scenery, why not be comfortable!
Wind and rain corridor bridge: The covered bridge is the most romantic symbol of the Qianjiang regional civilization and the core of the Maoshui Scenic Area. The long dragon wants to fly into the imposing bridge like Qiongyu, conquering every tourist who walks here. The shape of the covered bridge is magnificent, whether it is windows, eaves, columns, walls or buildings, it is a masterpiece of art. Climbing the stairs, pushing open the windows, or standing by the railing, or picking up the steps, as long as you are in the wind and rain covered bridge, I believe that everyone can feel the good intentions of the craftsmen. The angle of the viewer is different, and the wonderful presentation of the bridge is also changeable, during which the majesty, magnificence, refinement and elegance change with the different perspectives of tourists.
