The Bridge Worship Festival is a traditional festival of Miao people in Taijiang, Southwest 皇冠体育app's Guizhou province. The festival falls on the second day of the second lunar month. People build and worship the bridges, praying for good weather, a flourishing population, and good luck.

All people join the festival will dress up with their best clothes. Women and men go to the bridges, burning paper money and incense, pouring down the rice wine on the ground for the bridges and their ancestors.
