Longzhou

China

Longzhou is a town in Zhejiang province, China. It is the seat of Longzhou Township in the county-level city of Longquan, in the southwestern part of the province. The settlement lies in a mountainous area of southern Zhejiang, near the border with Fujian province.

The town is best known for the Longzhou Bridge, a covered wooden bridge that is one of the longest of its kind in China. The bridge spans the Hengxi River and has been rebuilt several times after flood damage; its present structure dates from the early 20th century. Longzhou also has a long history as a market town on trade routes through the mountains of southern Zhejiang.
