Rainbow Bridge of Shangrao, Jiangxi, China

A Must Visit!
The Rainbow Bridge (Cai Hong Chio), built during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), is one of the best preserved and most beautiful roofed bridges in China. Located in Qinghua town, Jiangxi Province and 20 km from Wuyuan where beautiful and quaint ancient villages are aplenty, this 140m long and 7m wide bridge in simple design is an architectural masterpiece of 5 corridors and 6 pavilions. Having missed it in our 2010 Jiangxi Tour as it was closed for repair, we convinced our Tour Leader to let us visit it this March 2012. We took in its spectacular sight! A truly worthwhile visit as we also got to challenge ourselves crossing the swift flowing river beneath it while taking in the beautiful landscaped surrounds!. A memorable must see if you happened to be in Wuyuan!

800 Years Old and Still Cool!
Beautiful structure and surrounding grounds. China is overwhelming with its history and beauty and this is one more part of it. It had rained a lot before our visit, river was high and rafts were not in use. It looked like fun if the river was down. Well worth the visit, if you are close go see it.

Sung Designed Bridges
Said to be the oldest well preserved Sung era bridge. 800 plus yo. October does not seem to be the best time to visit because of its relatively low water level. The water mills were not working during the time of visit.
