The Huitong Covered Bridge was built in 1883 in the late Qing dynasty (1644–1911). The bridge is made of blue bricks and stone. The bridge is engraved with centipedes, the natural enemy of snakes and dragons, symbolizing relief from floods. Ancient Chinese people believed that floods were caused by dragons. In front of the bridge, a wooden plaque with a couplet is hung on the two side pillars. It was written by Qing dynasty scholar Yue Haodong (Chinese: 岳灏东).[1]
