An engineering miracle spanning 500 years! A nanny-level check-in guide for Huizhou Ancient Bridge

**📌Core Highlights** ❶ The wisdom of Hui-style architecture: five-hole stone arch + water diversion pier design, the filming location of CCTV's "Geographic China" ❷ Great photography spots: ink painting in the morning mist / stone arch silhouette in the sunset ❸ Living water heritage: ancient ecological engineering systems still in use --- **📍Precise positioning** Changxi Township, She County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province (it is recommended to plan a one-day tour with "Yangchan Tulou") --- **🚗Transportation Tips** ✔ Self-driving: Navigate to "North Shore Corridor Bridge", there is a free parking lot at the entrance of the village ✔ Public transportation: Take the "Shexian-Shendu" bus from Shexian Bus Station and get off at Beian Village (about 40 minutes) --- **🎫Ticket Status** Free and open all day | Recommended visiting time 1-2 hours --- **📸Four must-shoot angles** 1️⃣ **Overlooking the panoramic view**: Drone take-off point (Tea Mountain Observation Deck behind the village) 👉🏻 Best time: After the rain, the sky clears up and you can see the "Five Holes Reflecting the Moon" spectacle. 2️⃣ **Close-up of the water diversion pier**: Shot at a 30-degree angle from the south side of the bridge, unlocking the visual sense of "cutting through the waves" 3️⃣ **Stone Arch Reflection**: Use CPL filter to eliminate reflections at 6-7 am when the water is calm 4️⃣ **Humanistic documentary**: On the third and eighth day of the lunar calendar, capture the scene of people carrying loads across the bridge --- **🔍In-depth explanation** ✨ **Breathing bridge piers** The ship design of the water splitter has a hidden secret - the sharp angle shape can reduce the impact of water flow by 40%, the principle is similar to the wind-breaking design of the front of the high-speed rail ✨ **Stone Instructions** Pay attention to the "craftsman code" on the stonework: the "I-shaped stone" with grooves is an ancient quality traceability mark, and the depth of the groove = the stonemason's responsibility number ✨ **Ecological Wisdom** The tree holes reserved in the bridge are actually "flexible earthquake-resistant devices" that allow the maple poplar roots to grow naturally to reinforce the bridge, which is more environmentally friendly than modern expansion bolts. --- **⚠️Notes** ❗During the dry season (November to March), you can observe the fish-scale slope protection of the bridge foundation up close ❗During the flood season, it is recommended to bring waterproof shoe covers as the bluestone on the shore is slippery ❗There are no commercial facilities around, it is recommended to bring your own drinking water --- **🍃Nearby route recommendations** Explore the covered bridge (1 hour) → Sunbathing in Changxi Ancient Village (30 minutes) → Xin'an River Gallery Cruise (2 hours) → Fish Feast at Shendu Wharf --- **📚Cultural extension** The existing Qing Dynasty "ban monument" at the bridge head contains environmental protection clauses: "Do not beat or wash on the bridge, and do not mine sand under the bridge. Violators will be punished by playing for three days." ——A vivid testimony to the ancient river protection law --- **💡Travel Black Technology** Open the "Xingse" APP to scan the plants on the ancient bridge: ▸ Acer truncatum (slope protection guard) ▸ Ficus pumila (natural waterproof layer) ▸ Trachelospermum officinale (ecological thermometer) --- Recommendations for images suitable for posting with copywriting: ① Aerial photography of the five-hole panoramic view (highlighting the proportion of mountains and water) ② Partial close-up of the water diversion pier (showing the wedge-shaped stone masonry) ③ Creative composition of the reflection of the ancient bridge ④ Villagers’ daily life scene of crossing the bridge
