    Ferries stop near the bridge, and couples take photos in front of it.

    "Each bridge marks a perspective of people's lives in Wuzhen in olden times," Zhou says.

    A teahouse called Fangluge near Yinjia bridge was where merchants drank tea and decided on the prices of goods like rice.

    A shop made red and white candles for weddings and funerals near Nanchang bridge.

    To the south of Gongqiao bridge, a shop sold wooden containers for daily use, and a malt-sugar store stood to its north.

    In the past, local residents painted and made wood cravings.

    South of Jiyuan bridge were several picture-mounting shops.

    South of Dengying bridge was a carving workshop.

    There were more bridges linking financial and entertainment institutions.

    "Bridges are vital to Wuzhen. They are witness to our history," Zhou says.
