Wind-rain Bridge is known as one of the three treasures of Dong nationality.

Dong people are proud of this special national building-Wind-rain Bridge. Generally speaking, its bridge girders consist of giant stone mounds, timber-made bridge body, alley and pavilion. All are timberwork jogged by mortise and tenon, without even one piece of nail or steel, except for its stone mounds. The body part of wind-rain Bridge uses giant timber as girder. There are three to five diametric or octagonal pavilions in the veranda, some are three-storied and some are five storied. On the top of its girder, some vivid and beautiful paintings are matched as decorations. Many benches are put for pedestrians in the corridor of the Wind-rain bridge.

Warm-hearted Dong people usually apply tea on wind-rain Bridge during hot summer. Besides, pedestrians can also enjoy the historical figures graved by board and fairy-story color painting at the upper end of the wall in its long corridor.
