Yazhou Covered Bridge was built in 1774 at Qingyi River, Ya’an City. It has gone through several transformations—from a simple timber bridge to an iron chain bridge, and finally becoming a stone arch bridge.
Ya’an is the intersection of the Sichuan-Tibet and Sichuan-Yunnan highways. It is also known as the strategic passage of western Sichuan Province, the gate to Xizang and the pathway of nationalities. During the Tang Dynasty, the tea from the Ya’an border regions was introduced to the Yi ethnic region and to Xizang, which marked the starting point of the southern Ancient Tea and Horse Road.
