Bori Bridge, located in Le'an Township, Xinlong County, was built in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, composed of three parts: bridge body, pier, bridge pavilion. It is like the human arm, is the most complete and longest span of the all-wood extension arm structure bridge in Kangba area. As the Red Army walked through the bridge, the local people affectionately called the bridge "the Red Army Bridge". Renovated Bori Bridge, like a rainbow flying on the Yaqi River, majestic and spectacular.

    The Bori Bridge is 36 kilometers north of Xinlong County and is built on the fast-flowing Yaqi River. The Bori Bridge was built in 1844 and designed by Tibetan architect Tang Tongjib. The bridge is 125 meters long, 3 meters wide and 60 meters across. The whole bridge is not connected with a nail, but is all connected by a sputum. The bridge is supported by the logs outstretched by the pier, and the length of the logs gradually increases from the bottom to the top, forming a cantilever floating on the river, and then on the cantilever beams, paving boards, and mounting railings. Therefore, the school of Bori Bridge is called the arm-stretching bridge, known locally as the "Kangba First Bridge", and is now a key cultural relics protection unit in the country. In 1936, the Red Army walked through the Bori Bridge, and the Bori Bridge is also known as the Red Army Bridge. The bridge is next to the 227 National Road, and you can drive there by yourself and visit for free.

    The Bori Bridge was built in the Qing Dynasty and was designed by Tang Tongjib, the outstanding Tibetan architect, who directed workers to eat and sleep on the Yaqi River in the deep canyon and the rapid river water for months. From the side, the Bori Bridge has a rough arc pier, neat and beautiful bridge platform, and a bridge body that perfectly fits the raft. This ghostly and magical, veritable "flying bridge" reflects the mysterious snow culture. In the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), the army of the Tibetan government of Xiaxia entered Xinlong from Ganzi. For strategic needs, the Bori Bridge burned six Tibetan-style arm bridges near the city. It made the new dragons that were originally in the belly button area of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture more isolated from the world. The Bori Bridge, which survived the wind and rain, became the traffic road for people to and from the new dragons at that time. The dilapidated Bori Bridge was crumbling due to overloading. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), a Tibetan folk architect named Mot Yama in the township of Laxi, New Longjia, was ordered to undertake the maintenance of the Bori Bridge. Through months of efforts, Yama led the Tibetan people to take the snow and snow to the cold, and repaired the bridge on the basis of preserving the original historical appearance of the Bori Bridge. In June 1936, the Red Four Fronts and the Red Sixth Army went north through the Bori Bridge after the New Dragon League Division. The local people have since affectionately called the bridge the Red Army Bridge.

    After leaving Ganzi County, bid farewell to National Highway 317, drove into the Yaqi River Grand Canyon, and drove all the way south to Xinlong. The Yaqi River Grand Canyon is more narrow than expected. There is too much sunlight between the two mountains. The river is deafening and rushes forward. It is a bit like a tiger leaping gorge. The mountain road is also dangerous, the road is winding and twisting on the cliff, and it is necessary to be more careful to drive up. It feels that this road will easily encounter landslides. However, the infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak, the Grand Canyon scenery is still very good, the lush forests and the snowy mountains in the distance, always give the general imagination of the paradise. One interesting thing to find in the canyon is that as long as the canyon is slightly wider, there will be temples and towns, and the life in the depths of these mountains, even now, is somewhat isolated. It is difficult to imagine that there is a national insurance in such a Grand Canyon, which is known as the "Kangba First Bridge", which is the Bori Bridge. Visiting the Bori Bridge is still relatively easy, because just beside the road to Xinlong, there is an observation deck and a path to the Bori Bridge. The Bori Bridge was built in the Qing Dynasty and was designed by Tang Tongjib, the outstanding Tibetan master of architecture. Historically, people crossing the river by the Yaqi River were by sheepskin boats, but the water was flowing rapidly, and sheepskin boats often overturned, causing casualties. For this reason, the local government sent Tang Tongjib to repair the bridge. Due to the remote mountain road and inconvenient transportation, Tang Tongjib command staff in the Yaqi River wind meal and camping for a few months before completion, it is also a difficult project. The Bori Bridge is composed of three parts: the bridge body, the pier, and the bridge pavilion. The pier looks like two strong bunkers, all of which are stacked with cedar, pebbles and flakes. The middle of the two piers, arched with 4-6 root log support, the length of the log from the bottom up, gradually increasing, forming two cantilever arms, then on the cantilever beams, paved bridge board, and then installed railings, forming the bridge body. The "umbrella" structure stacked with stone on the pier is the bridge pavilion. The most amazing thing is that the bridge does not use nails and iron blocks and other things, are tied up by wood and tree vines, each junction is connected by rafts, see all wood, feel very primitive. The bridge body that is perfectly fit for wooden rafts is simply a ghost and ax, reflecting the outstanding craftsmanship of Tibetans. After crossing the Bori Bridge, it is not far from Xinlong County. 🏠 name | Bori Bridge 🎫 tickets | Free ⛳ address | Xinlong County, Ganzizhou 🚗 Traffic | Self-driving navigation "Bori Bridge" can be #Summer you will play the most #Go to the place you want to go #Private secret in the city #Small group free punch card recommendation #Small group discovery society
