Over across the Feicui (Emerald) River, the Zharu Bridge is built in a typical Tibetan wood-bridge style. The supporting logs are wrapped in fences, the roadway is paved with unpainted wood plates. The roof is made of tree barks, in their original color, too, presenting an endeared and plain feeling. On the handrails hang colorful kha-btags which are dancing pleasantly in gentle winds, like intangible hands opening up to tourists. Walking on the bridge, yon will see the rapid torrents below, peculiar pines in a distance, worn-out canoes, and carving traces on the Baojing Cliff. Now, you begin your endless imagi nations. |
