Wuyuan, known as the most beautiful countryside in China, is situated in the northeastern part of Jiangxi Province in south China. Apart from wandering around the villages you should not miss the Rainbow Bridge. To get to the bridge, one must pass through the oldest lane in Wuyuan. Built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the lane is so narrow that people must turn to the side when they meet on the way through. Measuring 140 meters in length and seven meters in width, the Rainbow Bridge is an architectural masterpiece that includes five corridors and eleven pavilions. Locals also refer to it as the Corridor and Pavilion Bridge. The bridge remains in perfect condition, surviving even a major flood in 1954.
