(A) the most N of transport SARS period, I returned to my hometown in Hunan Chenzhou, southern forests to explore - Mang Hill, the deal collapsed, the unit does not allow out of the province, using a five-day vacation just 51 years of covered bridges Round 7 The Dream: riding a bike to see Tai-shun of the covered bridges.
At 6:00 on May 1, I and my fellow Friends of the text Lingxi seven streets from the start on time, ready to take the earliest shuttle Cangnan to Taishun to three-kui, and to cut 81 kilometers away (in the three covered bridges in Quebec have not previously had record). Shuiliao car let set bicycles, representations invalid, had to change plans to lingxi 66 kilometers away from the sixi town, travel disadvantage, and my heart and feel of unsettling.
Because the provisional decision to ride without training, started in 104 State Road 11 km to control speed, it took nearly 40 minutes to the town pier, and then uphill for 6 km to the Cangnan, Tai-shun, Fujian at the junction of watershed Guan already very tired, ate breakfast, then hurry along the Provincial Highway 58. Is also a big slope, middle slope there are as many cars Paiqizhanglong is suspicion between the fierce rise front and heavily armed police blocked Dr. Wu Zhuangde avenue. They found that the team have our two cars heresy, I was surprised the next unceremoniously cut us, fill out the health form, body temperature, checking identity cards ... ... at last we may be entering a Taishun. Grateful to them, I feel more secure, and armed police to doctors to pay tribute!
All the way uphill constantly, drink or simply suspected of Taishun ... uphill ... in the sky is no wonder that covered bridges known as the "rainbow", I am quite satisfied with his own misinterpretation. Finally downhill, and Kuang Hu and the roar, the Friends of the text of the visor bite at the mouth occasionally got up to slow down legislation, but also ambiguous manner hooked. Line for nearly three kilometers, or downhill, I can not help but worry about them, in order that Shuang, and so how much will have to pay the price, then laughable, and one will be Zhunde exhausted, but done for, Life is like riding a the car downhill slope. Really surprisingly, a large slope may seem endless, we met fellow asked how far downhill it is almost collapse of the ... ... this way, we turned over 900 meters above sea level flower brow across Fujian a short route through the city of Fuding, 12:30 time has come to Edward radon springs spa resort in the shop opposite the lunch break. Six hours to walk 49 kilometers, then the general, the advice: If you is not to test their strength and perseverance is not recommended in 58 provincial riding a bicycle. Shop owner is a MM, a very warm and introduction to our guiding road, I am glad to learn that another three kilometers to the lotus on the head, turn right by the highway 14 kilometers to the lotus sixi Sasayama town, is paved.
1:30 pm start, because the victory is in sight, and Chibaohezu, and exceptionally light and one on the lotus Sasayama on roads, good scenery up, though it is uphill, but still is not steep, line nearly 5 km did not find a covered bridges, large and small cement bridge but many, but let's blame ah can not, therefore, the cement bridge practical value greater than the ancient lounge bridges, disappointed the villagers for Taishun happy. But we come to see covered bridges, and then the side edges feeling fierce hurry, suddenly found themselves down through the green bamboo forest to see a little town down the mountain was estimated to be the subject of the map pine (soil) sheep town, which means very soon went to sixi, because MM said that the song is downhill most of the ocean. Under the release brakes downhill excitement, Shuiliao cautionary because it was winding roads, before drawing less than 500 meters, a 360-degree U-turn, my area of brakes, even powerless, and not help Hunfeiposan had to brake hard pinch, not dare to allow the car to fall, because the following is a cliff, fell on the ground will die without burial, but fortunately next to the fluffy yellow earth, Xinyi Heng, loess rushed towards the car stopped, and almost on the fly along the tangent, I Mianwurense to sit on the floor, half-back, but god. Friends of the text has been going far better, and he dropped the car ran up, propped the car. I only Zheliang brand-name 12-speed mountain bike riding a few kilometers of the 50 was not a car has been bumpy shape, front wheel broke a wire, rear wheel crooked, and the brakes not working ... ... Advice: Be sure to have the use of genuine 21-speed mountain bike , with enough tools to run a complex topography, otherwise put their lives on a joke. 2 shares of the peace of the ground to Song Yang, will be out of town for some good peek into the name of covered bridges 1 - Water End Bridge.
(B) the passing away of the glory - Former Residence of Zhang 11 Water End Bridge is a new maintenance over the wooden flat covered bridges, and highways parallel Lotus Sasa less than 10 meters apart, the environment in general, streams have been polluted and saw piles of refuse not be governed by extremely distressed. Previously had a Gonglue see this description: from Luo Yang to Shouning the pastoral scenery along the way is also very beautiful, especially the one called Rhinoceros River where there are mountains and water terraces have anchor steps, as well as a covered bridges , has a very poetic name: Water End Bridge. If the record is true, and rhinoceroses, and Pine Creek have an ocean of water, called the end of the bridge covered bridges, I do not know is Pingqiao rhino or a river through the massive arch, the environment how the bridge is sitting in a myriad of thoughts, the two do not like the good people of the young people appear in our bike on the road beside the bridge, suddenly felt the bridge with the surrounding discord has been greatly increased. Are feeling unhappy, depressed to the end of the bridge with the DV capture water, description of the monument, to hear one of the companions in the local saying: "sent for a few people, they have to leave ... ..." He must think we are all foreign land the passengers, so unscrupulous It happens to Friends of the text is Cangnan lingxi people, said Minnan dialect and song dialects belong to the same foreign language, heard the case, suddenly very unhappy, and went to car side I called out loud to a friend reported the location at this time, cross - the car far away. Downhill all the way encountered a number of small villages, the villagers looked at us with weird eyes, bicycles are not local means of transport, the elderly copied stone paths trails, wear covered bridges, walk rather than when the car; young people will catch on, riding a scooter whistling Bentu. Song Yang, according to the villagers, said the Christians did have a good car set for a few more bicycles, may be just a few days at home on the dust-laden, because out is a mountain, it can not stand, I would like to also, occasionally a ride can endure, if the daily cycling uphill, it will simply cause mad!
In the lotus Sasa Highway 12Km500m Department, relying on the hill a brick-wood structure of the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Old House - former residence of Zhang 11, back into the mountain side road 2. Brick black tiles after 200 years, and the mountain is still under the trees against the background of the extraordinary momentum of only those that stand up magnificently decorated wood folding time of stroke, is bleak. Unobtrusive door, concierge wall still sported the slogan during the Great Leap Forward, the time superimposed together, as if everlasting. This is the old house with traditional Chinese architectural model, the typical axial symmetry is a balanced, grace and generous. Outside the hospital main gate into the green side of the slab, the one without shelter, Tanzania expansive, showing the owner of the majestic atmosphere. Outside the hospital, separated on both sides of the rooms have a gable, courtyard door lintels "Star conjunction in Kui Man" four ink characters, thick books of the gas blowing; left-wing plaque "Gold Mountain Yuhai as" a rich and piled on the eyes; the main hall inside the homes, "Hee Korean centenarians," showing the owner's pre-eminent position is even more remarkable tolerance; right wing has been destroyed in a fire, is a real pity! Zhaizi the top of the brick walls are decorated with Chinese characteristics and patterns of great, pine, bamboo, plum, orchid, lotus and so on, are numerous; carved wood is an Aspect, simple and unadorned style of wood fence and pattern of the main volatile The upper and lower shield complement each other; most peculiar is beautifully carved wooden pillars and beams the corridor, but also particularly high, reportedly had to make a sedan chair, is a sedan chair gallery, for which there is no elsewhere. Powder wall on the left inside the hospital Nongmo of "filial piety give it" and other slogans is based on the Confucian Way to see the master code of conduct themselves in society, while the gable of the lintels are painted rooms Eight Immortals apparatus magic, main building wall hollow round window embedded a Buddhist The "million" characters, Confucianism, Taoism unity of the Chinese style of religion live in peace. Chang descendants in the repair of Zhang 11 house, the idea is good, but I always have the worry is "the destruction of the building."
(C) is not the old red wizard - sixi sisters from a lotus head if the direction of the bridge into the sixi, you can get off here to see former residence of Zhang 11 to avoid turning back. Here the town from the sixi only about three kilometers away, the countryside can take the bus car - 7 Liuzhou Wuling to sixi can also enjoy the valley on foot pastoral scenery. Along the way to a small village called South Stream to see Nanxi wood Ping Village, this is not the bridge span, once burned, and now outside the protection board, there are still traces of charred, on the bridge by the fire Xunde Ukraine 78 black, bridge shrine for reference by the men and women all deities, incense does not seem to wang, disorder of the wires cause for concern. Nanxi bridge a stone bridge across a river, is still the traffic arteries. The bridge not as good as Lex from the roads, line of sight through the layers of buildings, it is hidden in which a deep breath of life.
After a southern streams, biking walked about 500 meters of gravel dirt road, went to sixi town. Ask its way, it has been washed down, descend quickly without warning in the face of a red covered bridges, that is, the East River bridges. Than the town she was another covered bridges - a little late Kitama bridge built a few years, because at the upper reaches of the river, people called her "on the bridge." The book recorded that the East River Bridge is the best form of wood Taishun arcade bridge, located in the town sixi Creek Village, should actually be called the East bridges (recorded on the stone bridge), across the East stream derived its name. Length 41.7 meters wide and 4.86 meters, 10.35 meters high (surface to span the top, the same below), single-hole span 25.7 meters, palace-style, cornices Qiaojiao the Central Authorities have the main eaves attic, very majestic appearance. The bridge formed by the two-story arch Skeleton consistent, there are nine arch bone, side by side with another layer of eight arches of bone throughout the ride home, since the beams into a solid. Also within the triangle set in the wooden arch to enhance the role of lateral force. In order to protect the arch bone and beams to prevent the wind and rain erosion, both sides of the wood with red paint wind. 2 Duangong toe their support for the bridge table, bridge-building on both sides with granite cliff above the base. Two channels are stepping stone stamp. Liang Jian-gallery-style bridge floor rack 15, which played for the pavilion between the high-, two-wing corner picked fly. Panlong Wo Hu, bucket angle around the cloud, Qing Qiao need quite a lot of puff trend. Stream from the bridge after the bridge turn south side of bending flows, the other side of the bridge is a blur of distant mountains, nearby are two relatively high peaks, one side is the Lion Peak, one side is the general peak. People talk about the bridge and the surrounding environment is in a "general funny lion" in feng shui treasure, Taishun II to the bridge scenery of the gas, squat the other side of the bridge a small slope. The bridge built in the Ming Longqing only four years (1570), Qianlong Decade (1745) reconstruction. History of Chinese Science and Technology Series "History of the bridge," published illustrations, regarded as typical of one of the bridges nationwide.
Met with the two bridges on the road than the East River Bridge, just like birds in the Phoenix group, we were terrified, and threw down a bike staring her, even 1:00 aphasia, Hao Bantian was fascinating stats. Highway bridge with her right close by the sea, two relative ratio, it is a little black humor, the bridge has lost its role in traffic, only the bridge the other end of the hillside in Tai-shun two students often wear off the bridge and into the town, not so much to save Jimmy's journey, as it is for her scenery, in fact, covered bridges with arch slope and did not save anything. Xi Hu is already around the city of skyscrapers, cement, steel buildings destroyed this called the most beautiful covered bridges of the charm. Back a hundred years ago, the East River bridges, while still busy, but that is how harmony and traditional Chinese paintings depicted prosperous, like "The Painting Scroll" interpretation of natural heart not help but can not speak. Bridge shrines have been empty, three-board painted unicorn.
To bear to have me worried about the bike thrown in the vicinity of the bridge Xiuju Pu, and we will be walking to the North Stream Bridge. Kitama bridge called the bridge, in the next sixi VILLAGE, across the North River, so called "Northern Stream Bridge", named after the village to the bridge, its structure, similar in shape and on a larger bridge. Length 51.87 meters wide and 5.37 meters, 11.22 meters high, single span 29 meters, is also a wooden bridge arches, there is Bridge House 20. Sixi the same door and down the bridge according to legend built by master-disciple, so called "sixi apprentice Bridge", also known as "sixi Sisters Bridge" Jian Yuqing only thirteen years of Kangxi (1671), Jiaqing eight years (1803) reconstruction, structural sophistication, ancient form, is typical of China's bridge-building in the history of the wooden arch bridge. Suffered severe damage during the Cultural Revolution, 1986,1987-year funding rebuilt Provincial Cultural Heritage Bureau. Rebuilt in 1987, when, Tianjin University, Professor Yang Daoming to sixi examine the bridge that she is a national treasure, and the title "ancient architecture heritage", "national essence" 2 plaque now hanging on the bridge 2, respectively at the entrance. Zhejiang Province in 1989, the two bridges are listed as the third installment of units to be protected. 2 large camphor tree stand bridge is Cuntou. Thick, a diameter of more than two meters. According to "Taishun County," records, this tree has two thousand years of age had. Two trees have played a role in strengthening soil and water, their roots firmly seize the bridge base Qiu around the earth and rock, Paul has stood for hundreds of years of its wind and rain erosion without cause illness. Stream north along the path from the distance came the bridge, two dense tree canopy as the man's beard and hair gently ask over her ancient bridges and the surrounding residential areas, looming. Street is a stone bridge in the center of the village. One side is covered bridges, one side is residential. Since the success of the North Stream bridge was built back in the East River Bridge, North Bridge was the only stream of the wooden bridge across the Dongxi, so temporary bridge across the Taiwan Strait and prosperity of the towns and villages formed along the bridge also formed a small shop street, the bottom is the 1 Pán shop, two-story residence for the owner. Old trees, bridges, and construction of a natural combination, is the biggest characteristic of the North Stream bridge. Kitama bridge, either from the choice of building materials or the bridge structure, or a combination of bridge and buildings, cultural landscape and the combination of the natural landscape, is an outstanding example of traditional architecture fully reflects the Chinese concept of space and environmental concepts. )
From the River East Bridge Bank less than 1000 meters, large camphor tree, the eastern rivers to the north, Xu Jian, the stream known as the North under the bridge, the bridge across the wide river, is in the sky rainbow. Two streams come together at the bridge, brooks clear bottomed out, there is a water Dongxi erected a small stone bridge with the beams, then in order to anchor step. Whenever the streams rose, the entire small stone bridge will be submerged underwater. Along the Xian, a footpath, it will lead the Bridge and the village people. North Stream Bridge and the surrounding environment is very beautiful, gravel, old streets, old trees, covered bridges, green water, distant mountains, complement each other. Hung rocks have been overwhelmed a large piece of sand, Gong Lue in Shihting step has been buried in the sand, only a small stone bridge was somewhat luxurious (the stone from which ancient buildings should be to get down in) tolerance to listen to streams ? The noisy, occasionally come to her fellow villagers laundry, but no longer hear the legendary sound of the pounding clothes. Put your feet in the clear stream of Man, staring Kitama the bridge more than a half hour, the brain, such as movie screenings camel, her former prosperity, the Mood for Love has elapsed, such as bridge-like stream. The bridge is being repaired, Kiu sealed with plastic film, and signs reading "tourist stop" a small card, with the bridge on a stone bench under the old chat for a while,'s deep affection for leisurely without a break, this time in poor condition and recorded DV like the time tunnel-like image. We are tired and decided to go first hotel, the Thai spring has been closed, only the deer top hotels open, but for Friends of the text of the Minnan dialect, and DV recorded in the medical investigation into the way the body temperature Taishun fragments, we are admitted by you had better, I finally found In addition to singing nicely outside of Fujian Dialect practical value.
A home soil at night to find a restaurant to eat a sea-pass, river fish is delicious, and unfortunately can not accompany me wen drink is really fly in the ointment. I decided to spend tomorrow with Umayabashi beauty of sunrise, when a good light, Zaiqu look for three kilometers outside the packets Ancestral Hall. A night without dreams.
Because some covered bridges, at 5:00 on May 2 woke up, feeling pain, there is a second time, I do not know where you are, out of the window day and bright, fresh air, insect Washeng bring out the quiet of the world , the SARS epidemic has not be able to harm mountains the nimbus.
Sent for-wen, a person must be Mengtoutaishui, silence should not, and will no longer care for him, tread the morning dew will go to visit covered bridges. Small streets deserted, with occasional slapstick chase a few dogs, rooster crow from time to time pulled a long neck ... ... the East River Bridge, Dawn veil dressed, old age and beauty in general, pride, modesty and there are some frustration. Qingliang early morning air, gurgling water sound, luxurious shadow of the bridge is a quote consolation dust impetuous heart medicine. I have heart palpitations Ran, gingerly walking on the bridge, fear of awakening the slumbering for centuries covered bridges that are not old wizard, in the backdrop of distant mountains, river east bridge is even more beautiful, ethereal. Regardless of dew wet feet, I have selected a wide range of mobile point of crazy color one pass, but from time to time broke into the lens of garbage and cement construction make me helpless, like Beauty and the bridge, so that the East River Bridge, the environment in such a public show is really wronged her!
Meditation in the go Kitama Bridge, Chaoyang stuck his head from the distant mountains, the bridge opened to residential buildings of wood, a few villagers on the river, using river water wash, a plume of smoke emitting from the roof wooden houses, the villagers of the Dialogue sound appear to be so distant, their overall integration into the covered bridges of the rhyme, the Dodo suddenly either distant highway bridge, but after the tractor, I really thought back to the past that belongs to the era of covered bridges. Is the early summer season, and the bridge two trees to flourish in the lush, listen to an ancient village tree friends say the soul of the village, remark is not false, of course, covered bridges here, it is the core of the soul, like solidification of notes , the red wizard.
The teacher begged bridges let me stay for a while into the covered bridges, there is the text slowly go past came. Temple of the morning he wanted to go five Hin, Lin Ancestral Hall, Po Lin Monastery, Nanshan Mrs. Temple and packet Ancestral Hall, the afternoon also rushed Shinomura. Reluctantly left, step back three.
(D) hold out some hope - Package Ancestral road along the eastern banks of streams is about three kilometers of roads, we can see the right side of a road next to the wooden floor tile right and left hidden in the bushes on both sides of the flagpole stone gate of the Temple and the book "package Ancestral Hall" four-character , the wall covered with green vines. This is a pocket-sized courtyard, separated by a low wall around the hospital form on the squat two strange lions were terrible wind and rain erosion left the Lions holding a small lion, Tuzhao blood red tongue. Backyard smaller, less than 4 square meters, a Taishun County Bureau of Cultural Relics of the stone legislation accounted for most of the location of the courtyard there is a gap, a gravel path slopes stretch of villages, the whole feeling of a Duan Bi piles of rubbish. In order to do this ancestral hall has been deserted after 500 years of run-down, only to keep the gate, and a sense of disappointment from the Health, however. Ready to step onto a bike when you think about wrong information, said: package Ancestral Hall is the largest ancestral halls of local, have made primary school classrooms, usually locked the door, `find next to an old man opened the door. Published in time for last year's 51 can not be ruined so fast, even if there are still traces of ruined ah, but not so small. Called the Friends of the text along the path to see. Friends of the paper onto the hillside on a scream: "Here! Here!" I dropped and ran on their own, less than 20 meters, on the left of the forest set off a big one in the ancient buildings, the really new vista there is a temple ah! Advice: Do not be misled by appearances, there are no Zhenfo not take Scriptures empty-handed is also a certain regret. Cultural Relics Bureau also get a sign we go.
Package Ancestral Hall in two parts, low-lying outside the yard full of green grass, and the entry door is a half-moon shape of the Fangsheng Chi - half pool, a pity that the water has dried up, I do not know whether the former Letting Them's Yubie cents to go. From a half a step on both sides of the pool is a rectangular lawn, the hospital later in the tree seems to be the kinds of up.. Way back when the scene when the package's ancestors, cigarette-filled, left-right-Zhao Mu Shan Hu worship,, What a spectacular! Everyone crowded into the tribe's ancestors to accept the courtyard of review, but now live alone without a person Suocao dry Yang, if not hot, a little bit eerie feeling. Courtyard gate locked, go to school to find someone to open the door also could not find it some careful observation, it seems that they saw the right is not latch firmly, and gently touched, the door actually opened, carefully touch inside, musty diffuse in the century-old inside the house. Wing about overcrowding in the ancestral hall is a magnificent altar, the main hall beam diameter of more than 50 cm, transparent body carved, the middle of a bagua, courtyard patio of the lions were Zuidu has been eroded away, and very funny. It said that the ancestral hall is a local Ancestral forms of representation, within the hospital rooms of paintings on the walls can not read.
Package Ancestral Hall is about 500 meters below the stream on a nameless covered bridges, wooden Pingqiao, deck painted bright red, the inside of the bridge shield Quotations from Chairman Mao preserved, exposure to which, Wan Ran back to what Red Storm age. Filming the election, covered bridges photos, a man quietly at us approaching 20 meters away from us Kuanghu the dashed over, from the dirty clothes, we have determined that a person must be a degree of madness Xia, did not dare compete with him, fled Batui , find any to step onto a bike from a dangerous place. .
The sun rose very high in the afternoon to arrive Shinomura, noted in the fellow said Shinomura sixi as long as the slope on a downhill one. A check maps,, 28km. Uphill ten kilometers away, said that little slope, yesterday tan purple arm burning in pain, did not care so much, there is a very special Shinomura Wen Hsing bridge, there is Xu Ao at the end of an ancient village, East Sanyang Bridge (the locals pay more, "Sanyang," written in "foreign"), an ancient village in the East Sanyang temptation I. Lay a solid pack, we hit the road.
Shinomura ride the gravel road leading to crawl, often a car from the side passing is a real "get too far away." I will return and the Friends of the text of the disgraced. Tired, fling the car to the roadside, lying on the roadside shade of the mountains, the two Tuxing Sun-like face and can not help but smile to. Dozens of kilometers long on the slope, after that there really was a winding mountain 9 km downhill, due to warning, twelve of care, the idea is no problem, but not distracting to see the scenery beside Unfortunately, those beautiful, presumably they are also very disappointed, ogle to the blind read. Life and matter, and also sorry.
Lian Sasa Highway about 33 km where the road across the creek next to the one color not painted wooden flat covered bridges - East Sanyang Bridge. The bridge was last rebuilt in the Republican decade (gallery top beam reads), 80 years of wind and rain have made covered bridges mottled broken by rainwater infiltration in wood color show landscapes in the misty rain map out the color of the bridge wall panels of text at all times have: rebuilt Chronicle, 80 poems a few years ago, during the Cultural Revolution slogans. There are XX recent graffiti, disappointed! Bridge conspicuous places with red paint puffing a few characters: strict anti-drug Electric Netting, fish, and offenders fined RMBxxx. Can not help but laugh. Bridge Creek fish in groups, blatantly swimming in the water, it really free men. Friends of Man sitting on the bridge of the river to see so many fresh and delicious fish, stared stared, saliva Fei Liu Mashimo. Think last night was delicious sixi River fish, watching Zhichitianya these elusive fish have, I also mad Tunkou Shui, the most painful thing on earth than this, if God has given me an opportunity to come back , I have to ... ... with Zhang nets! Ah Q is now the method used had been resolved. The bridge span is not, I can also see the road.
(E) Lonely Man Hing Bridge (6) on the road, destined to the case (7) rain 3 Bridge (8) We go home
