Qinghua Rainbow Bridge, Stone beam bridge in Qinghua Town, Wuyuan County, China

The bridge extends 140 meters across the Le'an River, featuring four piers, five openings, and a width of 3.1 meters throughout its span.

Built during the Southern Song Dynasty in 1137, the bridge served as a crucial connection point for local communities over eight centuries until its collapse in 2020.

The name derives from a poem by Tang dynasty poet Li Bai, and the structure contains an iron buffalo embedded in its third pier for protection.

The bridge's engineering incorporated flood prevention principles with boat-shaped piers designed to withstand strong river currents effectively.

Each of the six gallery pavilions was constructed independently, allowing for separate maintenance without compromising the overall structure integrity.
