From the corridor, there is no tile roof, but the thin open brick is the top of the blue brick; the bricklayer is skilled; the lime content of each green brick is equal, and the white lime line between the brick joints is uniform, forming a simple and unique corridor bridge landscape. The blue brick ceiling is equal to the ceiling, so that the corridor bridge has heat insulation layer in hot summer, and even the snow beads squeezed into the tile joints can not get into the bridge in winter. The East and west sides of the bridge corridor are capped with brick walls, with eight Bridge windows each. The west wall has eight rectangular windows. The eight windows are of the same size, all of which are made of green bricks. From a distance, they are neat and beautiful. In order, there are also uneven changes.
