Days 22-23

Chengyang

Day 22 we take a local bus to Sanjiang (approx. 4 hours), followed by a transfer to Chengyang (approx. 1 hour). Chengyang is undoubtedly one of the most special places in China, thanks to its exquisite Wind and Rain Bridge.

These bridges, or 'fengyu qiao' as they are called locally, once served religious purposes but are now mostly used as a place for the local people to sit around, chat and sell their wares. They were traditionally built entirely in pegged cedar, and it is often said that not a single nail was used in their construction. In the afternoon, we attend a minority performance held in the village, and have the opportunity to take part in bamboo pole dancing as well as to sing along to the 'rice-wine' song.

WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED WHEN WE GET CHANCE SO DON'T FORGET TO KEEP CHECKING BACK!!!!!!
