Baiyun Bridge, Cultural heritage bridge in Yuyao City, China.
Baiyun Bridge is a stone and wooden structure that spans two sections of the Changxi river and blends traditional Simingshan architectural elements into its design. The bridge stays open to visitors year-round without entrance fees and receives regular maintenance to keep it in good condition.
The bridge was built during the Tang Dynasty in the Zhenguan period, following the settlement of the Yu and Zheng families in the region. This early construction marked the start of continuous habitation that has shaped the village until today.
The bridge sits at the heart of Zhongcun, a traditional village with over a thousand years of history that keeps many structures from the Ming and Qing periods. Local residents and artists gather here to experience and document the place through different perspectives.
The bridge is easy to reach year-round and requires no entrance fee for visitors. It is best to visit during daylight hours so you can see the details of the structure and the village surroundings clearly.
The location attracts artists from many disciplines who come to create and document their work from this vantage point. Visitors often notice how light shifts throughout the day to reveal different aspects of the stone and wooden structure.
