Glen Umayabashi
3 bridges that I have seen in the Tai-shun of the most beautiful bridge. It is lying quietly in a valley surrounded by mountains, is about 47 km from the county Luo, Zhen is about 5 km away from the Island.
Taishun, Zhejiang, China is the reputation from the date of the township covered bridges, internally there are dozens of covered bridges built in the Ming Qing Dynasties, the more famous among three Bridge is also Wenxing Bridge, North Stream Bridge, East River Bridge, Yongqing Bridge , Yuwen Bridge. Are the same color wood structure, and gray tiles cornices, carved beams Gaolan, a river crossing.
The early nineties of last century, the United States the same name as a fiction and the movie "Bridges of Madison County" has swept China. "Bridges of Madison County" tells a story of middle-aged men and women affair, romantic and tragic. The story revolves around a covered bridges commenced. It is said that the United States, and later became a tourist attraction this covered bridges, the reason may be the same boat and began to look at are middle-aged men and women, but then young and old gather for the celebration one after another, perhaps because so many people mind has its own reasons why. Anyway, every year a large number of tourists from pilgrimage, covered bridges on this big play reputation.
Most of China's Covered bridge fans can not go to the United States, but they are lucky enough to find Taishun, Zhejiang Taishun's covered bridges have not yet found anything although the love story detached, but whatever the structure or form, must have seen the United States than films Covered bridge complex and beautiful. So silent centuries of Taishun Umayabashi suddenly became precious in the eyes of tourists.
Our party of four attracted on October 1 at noon arrived at Tai-shun of the Ya-xiangyangzhen the afternoon as the guide a tour of the North Stream Bridge and the East River bridges, but when we put forward the next day would like to see the three bridges, the wizard was evade them, saying it was impossible to walk the road very bad, these little cars can not go. In our repeated insistence, the wizard has made the concession. But when we know the guide says after Sheung true. Taishun Zhejiang is one of the few poverty-stricken counties, the three continents where the ridge direction of the bridge and is very remote, the CMB frequency of small backcountry road to go up to the ox-drawn carts and tractors, sharp stones and the poor so that the lower chassis The car as a danger to pedestrians.
The bumps in the way of suspense and fear of a puncture, we arrived at the target location on the map, but there is no shadow of the bridge 3. Wizard keep stopping ask for directions, the local language we could not understand a word, to fewer and fewer people on the road later, ask for directions can not find people, can only feel of going forward, the time a little bit of the past, the road is becoming increasingly bad, as we soon disappointment to find that two tourists sitting in front of the roadside dressed people, a question, just say, they have come from the three bridges behind him on the path to which the three-pass bridge. The two men is what we have seen three near the bridge outside the only one among our visitors. From the highway to the three bridges, all the way down the road and sometimes three-wide and can be parallel, and sometimes only one to follow a narrow, stone steps one moment, a moment is a mud track, the most terrible is that there is no signs, and then walk for a long time, the mountains not seen one person Even a word can not see something like that. We just muddle their way by trial and error to move forward, only Jilao online seems to say: "Faced with fork in the road keep left, half-way there is a room, is on the road can be seen only one family left a ridge-pass to the three bridges. "away for nearly half an hour, the mountain gradually cheerful, and came in front of:" See啦! "It is encouraging to cry. 3 Bridge has finally arrived.
Sun west, covered bridges than it had been bathing sun, dark world like a quiet old man lying in between two mountains. But the days surrounding the very bright layers of mountains and a start in the fall of gold, reddish brown, dark green, light blue, colorful is very good-looking, one after another from the bridge across the river winding blue river water from time to time in the gravel between the noise from time to time in the pools in the quiet, the wind slightly blowing, leaves us with Cecil sweet and Italy, and fresh air so we all can not help them to take a deep breath.
Only five of us the whole valley, we have the bridge up and down around the three enjoy taking pictures, laughing, staring, looking up, wondering how the ancients the steep mountain valleys where built such a beautiful magnificent covered bridges, such a thick wood is shipped using local resources or from the outside, how many workers, who are the masters of bridge whether it is for what reason ...
We were three bridges struck by the unique charm of being the beautiful covered bridges, was quiet valley, was in our hearts the ancient Chinese reverence, was combined with nature was so understanding ... Everything seemed to be there is so much great, great. We only feel the beauty of heaven and earth in this blend, the strength of the United States, vicissitudes of the United States, broad beauty, the beauty of delicate euphemism together, sacred to our tightly surrounded, so that we could hardly nervous big mouth breathing. Seem not to see a bridge, but a temple to worship. All this is plain areas along the roadside of the covered bridges do not.
We started it in the tourism peak season, so the subject of cold and Ming Buping, have discussed the development of its programs to date, some talking about roads, with some saying that to erect signs, and some said that the main is to expand the promotion, the best be able to dig out what romance stories, such as Miss, and son just in covered bridges on the parent's house, then how come so forth, but also to tragedy, similar to the Butterfly Lovers, ensure that our visitors greatly increased, the implementation of this task is best to so and so people.
Sun further west, and mountains and covered bridges silent in the face of our goodwill and passion of these future generations, clear streams gurgle flow in our feet, the whole valley is even more quiet. We are reluctantly, but we leave.
According to guide later said that in ancient times to connect three bridges on this road is the only channel of Zhejiang and Fujian.
I think that time will certainly pack on both sides of Hill Road, ringtones sound, the bridge coming and going.
Now with the road, rail and aviation, where quiet, and the bridge connecting both sides of the paths covered with weeds, if not covered bridges are still not "Bridges of Madison County", who would imagine there have been brilliant.
