Asia's longest covered bridge, Zhuoshui Fengyu, is set to reopen to the public on Thursday after a restoration project spanning several years.
The covered bridge was built in 1591, in the Ming Dynasty, in the Qianjiang District of Chongqing in southwest China.
But the five-meter-wide crossing collapsed into the waters as a blaze turned it to ashes in 2013.
The bridge, known throughout Asia for its traditional beauty, is topped by a pagoda-style roof that stretches 303 meters across the region's Apeng River with its' mortise and tenon structure -- a Chinese traditional architectural style.
