|I love this Chinese aesthetic so much. The Taiping Bridge was built during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. It was built by Wang Shouren (Yangming), the governor of Southern Jiangxi, to commemorate the pacification of the "Sanhuan Rebellion" and to show peace in the world. It was later destroyed, and the current bridge was rebuilt at the site selected by the Lai clan in the first year of Jiaqing (1796). The Taiping Bridge has a beautiful and unique shape, and the bridge and the houses are a perfect match. The total length of the bridge is 44.8 meters, the bridge deck is 4 meters wide, and the overall height is about 15.2 meters. The lower layer has three piers and two holes, and is a masonry structure. The upstream middle pier protrudes like the bow of a ship. It weakens the impact of water flow on the bridge piers. In the center of the upper bridge is a Hakka mansion-style brick and wood structure with four corridors. The gables on both sides are "Five Mountains facing the sky" and have corridor arches. The upper corridor arches fall on the arches of the two lower bridges to form a "pin"-shaped structure. Taiping Bridge integrates science, practicality and artistry, and has extremely high aesthetic value and architectural research value. It was awarded the "Top 100 New Discoveries" in the third cultural relic survey of the whole park and was included in the "World Bridge View". [Thinking] Travel experience + photography tips Suitable for long-range shooting, you can take a panoramic view of the two bridge arches and the pavilion arch, with small figures dotting the scene. If the light is good, you can also take a picture of the bridge body reflected in the water, forming a picture with complex lines. Aerial photography is recommended, the drone’s perspective will be even more stunning.

Longnan in Jiangxi, is truly an underrated place! It is located in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, the center of Chinese Hakka culture, and is also known as the 'Castle of the Orient' and 'Palaces scattered among the people' 😲. It has the world's tallest and largest roundhouses, a low-key small city of Jiangxi's cultural ancient architecture 🎊. Below is a recommended 2-day 1-night travel itinerary for Longnan 👇 🛑2 Days 1 Night Itinerary Day1: Guanxi Xinwei—Longguang Wei Day2: Taiping Bridge—Yanyi Wei—Wushi Wei 🏨Accommodation: Dale Zhiye (Longnan Store) 1️⃣Guanxi Xinwei🎪, the world's largest square roundhouse This is the world's largest square roundhouse 😲! It took a full 29 years to build, with 282 rooms inside 📖. Just the bricks and tiles used for the construction of the roundhouse took 19 years to fire 🕰️. The layout of the houses is longitudinal, and in the rooms, you can see the ancient study rooms, boudoirs, and beds 🛏️. They live together with the same surname, jointly defending against foreign enemies 🧱. This mansion does not give off a feeling of seclusion, decay, or mystery; instead, it displays the life style of a generation of Chinese magnates at ease 🤵. 2️⃣Yanyi Wei🏯, the world's tallest roundhouse There are still 3 local households living here 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. It is said that there used to be more than 200 households here 🤔. This is an open-style courtyard made of wood, with festive red lanterns hanging in front of the door 🏮. It has been built for over 340 years and is the world's tallest roundhouse 🗼! This earthen building has even withstood Japanese artillery shells, showing its sturdiness 💪! 3️⃣Longguang Wei🏰, the roundhouse with the strongest outer walls Longguang Wei is a place that even locals might not be able to find 🤭, and it was still under construction when we visited 🚧. This is a very special roundhouse in Longnan, with outer walls made of huge stones, and the interior is white walls with black wood, a two-story small house hidden in the remote mountains 🌳. 4️⃣Wushi Wei🏠 Wushi Wei has only one floor, with houses on both sides and the clan's ancestral hall in the middle 🙏. The gaps in the ancestral hall are very tight, and there are still local residents raising chickens and ducks here 🐔, and there is a rare living water ancient well in the roundhouse 💧. There are water plants in the well, and a plastic bucket is hanging by the clear water well 🛢️, filled with the breath of life 🎈. 5️⃣Taiping Bridge🌉 There is a horse-head wall bridge made of blue bricks over the water, which is a national treasure-level bridge 🤩! Villagers in the mountains often ride electric scooters across the bridge 🛵, and on a clear day, you can see the two-hole three-pier, four-arch double-layer overlapping structure from the reflection on the water surface 🎆. 6️⃣Dale Zhiye🏕️ The guesthouse is located in the largest gathering place of Hakka people, opposite an original resident's roundhouse 🏯. I particularly like the courtyard of Dale Zhiye, where the banana leaves grow very lush 🌴, the grass ash texture wall surface and the old beams have settled the traces of the years 🕰️, neutralizing some of the bright atmosphere in the modern elements 🎉. 🌟Food Recommendations🌟 1. Fengyan Pearl: Shaped like a pearl, tender and smooth to the taste 😋. 2. Longnan Chui Fish: The fish is tender and the soup is delicious 🥘. 3. Longnan Stuffed Tofu: The tofu is tender, and the filling is rich 😚. 4. Yangcun Black Rice Noodles: Smooth and strong, very delicious with the soup 🍜. 5.
