Nine-turn bridge


The Nine-turn bridge or Zigzag bridge is one of the features of the Chinese Garden, where the bridge is designed to turn several times, so one can enjoy viewing different scenes. The bridge is usually made of stones or concrete with decorated guard rails, and the angles of the turns can be at right angle, at any other angle or curved.
The Nine-turn bridge is typically found in the Chinese Gardens that were made during the Song Dynasty.
