Qinglong Wind and Rain Bridge is an important bridge in the Fuchuan Yao Wind and Rain Bridge Group. It was first built in the 4th year of the Tianqi period of the Ming dynasty (1624) and is one of the wind and rain bridges in Fuchuan that has been preserved to this day. Qinglong Wind and Rain Bridge has become one of the representatives of the Fuchuan Yao Wind and Rain Bridge Group due to its unique architectural style and historical value. The bridge is a single-arch stone bridge with a bridge corridor, bridge pavilion, and bridge tower. The bridge corridor and bridge pavilion are wooden structures, with 8 bays, made of 34 mortise and tenon joints. The roof of the bridge pavilion is a gable and hip roof, with a total height of 6.7 meters. The walls on both sides of the bridge corridor are painted, with three floors, double eaves, and gable and hip roofs. There are three entrances and exits to the south, north, and east. There are 32 wooden flower windows around the eaves on each floor, and the bottom of the four pillars is a lotus drum-shaped column base. The inner walls of the first floor of the tower are inlaid with multiple stone tablets. It provides important information for the study of the history of wind and rain bridges in the Yao area. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit.

The first impression of Fuchuan's covered bridge is that it is small and elegant. It is not like the Zhejiang and Fujian covered bridges that span the deep valleys, nor is it like the Dong covered bridges with complex bridge pavilions, nor is it like some of the covered bridges in Yunnan that are simple and wild. They are quietly located between Fuchuan and Yongzhou's beautiful karst landscape, connecting the villages. Because it is almost unknown to the outside world, the covered bridges here have retained their original appearance to the greatest extent. Standing on the bridge and feeling the breeze, admiring the karst landscape through the "picture frame" composed of two pillars, you can instantly understand why many villagers stay in the covered bridge for a day.

Last month, I went to Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County by car. This is a "hometown of longevity in China." People who have passed through Fuchuan know that Fuchuan has a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery and outstanding people. The scenery of the wind and rain bridge in Bucheon is very beautiful. Fuchuan Wind and Rain Bridge is mainly distributed in Oil Mu, Chengbei, Mailing and Fuyang. According to the investigation, there are 18 ancient Yao people's wind and rain bridges preserved to this day. Hezhou Hezhou, the emerging city adjacent to Guangdong and Hunan she is also known as the Eco HezhouLongevity Resort! The way back on the way through the ancient town of Huang Yao, went in and played. There are many antique buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
