Chengyang Bridge, Covered wooden bridge in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Guangxi, China.
The Chengyang Yongji Bridge is a 64.4-meter wooden structure featuring five stone piers topped with colorful kiosks built entirely without nails using traditional joinery techniques.
Constructed in 1912 and reconstructed in 1983 following flood damage, the bridge has served as a crucial crossing point for local communities for over a century.
The bridge exemplifies traditional Dong minority architecture and is known as a wind and rain bridge, symbolizing protection and communal spirit among the Dong people.

Bridges have connected shores, valleys and communities for centuries. This collection presents significant bridge structures from different periods and regions. From medieval stone arches to modern steel constructions, these works demonstrate the evolution of engineering. The 16th-century Rialto Bridge in Venice spans the Grand Canal with a single stone arch. The Golden Gate in San Francisco extends 2.7 kilometers, connecting the city with northern California. In Singapore, the Helix Bridge forms a pedestrian connection across Marina Bay with its double spiral structure. These constructions serve practical functions in urban transport while defining the skylines of their cities. They document technical solutions to geographic obstacles and show different approaches to bridge building across the centuries.
Stone arch bridges rank among the most durable structures in history. From Roman aqueducts in Spain to medieval river crossings in Central Europe, these constructions demonstrate the evolution of engineering over two millennia. The Pont du Gard in France once transported 20,000 cubic meters of water daily over 50 kilometers, while the Segovia Aqueduct in Spain was built without mortar. In Asia, stone bridges like the Marco Polo Bridge in China have connected trade routes for centuries. The Khaju Bridge in Isfahan functions simultaneously as a dam and public gathering space. These structures served multiple purposes: transport, water supply, and social meeting points. Many of these bridges and aqueducts remain in use today. They document various construction techniques, from Roman concrete vaults to Persian brick arch structures. The constructions have survived wars, earthquakes, and floods, remaining functional elements of modern infrastructure.
