The ripe stream at night

The bridge is 140 meters long and 4.8 meters wide, with 49 bridge houses and benches on both sides for visitors to rest. Benches divide the corridor bridge into three roads. In ancient times, pedestrians walked on both sides and horses were opened to traffic in the middle. Now only pedestrians are allowed to pass and watch. On both sides of the bridge, there are wooden railings with unique Jiangnan characteristics, which are safe and beautiful. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the town from the railings.
