It is a stone-arch timber-frame covered bridge with a single span. It is 9.9 meters long, 3.3 meters wide, and 8.6 meters high. The bridge’s gallery house is a “chuandou” structure with timber railing on both sides. Small pavilions stand either side of the bridge, topped with up-turned eaves on all four corners and covered with small grey tiles. The bridge stands at the waist of the Fuhu Temple, among green bushes and trees.
